Just ordered a used LS15 , it had been serviced in the not so distant past and is all up to spec. I plan on just swapping in 4 new matched Telefunken black diamond 6922 the new ones. should be fine, but that will give me a clean state of reference for later on....it has some tubes in it all ready but the Telefunken are already "better" tubes.
Going to pair this with a TEAC ap-701 hypexNcore that I like.
Have not used tube preamps, I'm replacing a Schiit freya S that is good and fine ...Not long ago I picked up a little budget Fosi gr70 all tube headphone amp that can also be used as a preamp, I liked how it sounded as a preamp so I looked for a good all tube stage preamp and the LS15 was up for sale and seemed to be a well liked piece be it a little old.
I have a bunch of gear to hook up to it so I appreciate all the connections on this piece. Not as High end as most the stuff I see around this forum but, I'm moving that way a little.
any tips or other things like tube recommends for the LS15?
Thanks
