My Next Preamp

i need a 6sn7 quad for my heathkit w4am pair; sounds like these would be a good choice
Not yet as I am not sure I have a leg to stand on but will see what they say. Stay tuned!
Yes, I am very happy with mine.
I am having a little trouble following along here but I started a thread with lots of DIY advice if that path is still attractive.

I'm torn between the 6V6 and the two #72 preamp builds.

Thanks, I’ll have to read up. Now the Freya is not a bad pre and would satisfy most Passive/tube gain/remote..). I definitely would like to still pursue a higher level unit though, just to see if I’m missing anything.
So the manufacturer suggested a troubleshooting procedure (which I didn’t think would yield the fix but nonetheless) I tried it early morning without any success. Looks like we are moving on to a warranty issue which likely means I am up a creek.....more to come.
Update:
I added subs to my system and although the Freya has a second set of outs, driving the subs sucks a little out of the 604’s, and I find myself cranking the volume near max. So......figured I’d post here, versus a new under $3k preamp thread?
Looking to up my preamp game and have two main contenders in my sights; Shindo Aurieges and the Bottlehead Beepre2. I am open to suggestions on other preamps that might fit the bill (New or used).
I have Altec 604e speakers, paramount 2a3 tube amps, DSP subs (so would prefer a sub out or can use a splitter).
Shindo
Pros - great looks, a quality hand built product, should have great synergy with Altecs. Great resale value.
Cons - can’t think of any other than no remote (I don’t use mine much, so..)?
Bottlehead
Pro’s - has built a great name for themselves with their amazing kits. Is upgradeable/customizable.
Cons - you have to build it? There are future upgrades one can buy; not sure all are stated.

The BeePre upgrade manuals are both written. I'm sending the parts list in this coming week to start the ordering for the first upgrade.
I had a Shindo Auriges here for a while on consignment (bottom left of this photo). I was not able to sell it. You definitely want the two chassis version if you end up getting one.

And then there was one....(by the pic, the Shindo looks to be in time-out)
Can you confirm if the upgrades will be the upgraded volume pot and extra XLR balanced out only? Also, could the extra out be unbalanced (thinking for my subs)? Also, can you disclose the cost of said upgrades and if I’d be able to buy the whole kitten caboodle? (You can pm me if needed, curious what a full build or custom build might set me back)
Hurry! The anticipation is killing me!!!
