I've been "kind-of" in the market for a tube preamp for awhile now, and I'm on a budget... so I'm putting some thought into a PAS-3. It seems to me that it is a pretty basic, nothing special, preamp that is easily modded. How good can they be with modifications, and if I were to get one and have it modded, would I be better off in the long run to just save and get something better to begin with?
Also, if buying one and modding it is a good idea, what is a good pprice to pay for one in good working condition, or in repair condition?
Thanks!!
