I have searching for the legendary Carver C19 tube Preamp or the Sunfire tube Preamp w/phone select and remote option. If there is someone selling either one of these preamps, please inbox me. Thank you.

Both very nice pre's! Good luck in your search and welcome!

Just a heads up, I think with the Sunfire pre, you either get the remote OR the phono. I'm not positive, but I think that's the case. I believe someone here might be trying to sell one though, so you may be in luck.

I think the Sunfire is the rarer and better sounding of the two. If you can get it with the phono option I hear that it is really good.
I have been to C-19-land and not planning a return trip. Would take a modded (BillD Mod) C-1 first...

You can get both on the Sunfire Bearjew. You have seen one... remember?

I would rather have the Sunfire tube preamp. Be on a lookout for me please.

These is one on eBay for 1300.00. No MC phono option or remote. That's just too much money they are asking for it.

I spent a year or so lusting for the Sunfire w phono. The bargain price for that unit seems to be around 800 bucks, but I did not see one at that price and eventually moved on. Most sell for $1000+. A combo consisting of the pre Kingman has (Sunfire tube w phono and remote) plus a Sunfire 600x2 would be very cool.

No... I've seen so much Carver/Sunfire gear in the past few years that it all bleeds together. Is that what you're running? I remember you having a Sunfire pre.

Yes...need to get your ass back down here... ;)

Even though by no means the ultimate set up, it is very respectable. I have only heard one system better.

A Carver Lightstar would be nice too.

I have had a modded C-19 and a Sunfire Tube Pre w/ remote and phono. The C-19 sounded better with my Martin Logan speakers. The Sunfire sounded better with the CRM speakers. I think they are both fine but there are better things to be had in the 1200ish range.

In my opinion the Lightstar direct sounds great when coupled to the reference amp.
