I currently have a preamp for my entertainment center that uses 2 6J1 chinese tubes, and I am not impressed by the sound.

I have another headphone amp that uses a 6N16B russian tube(tiny little thing), and that thing sounds absolutely fantastic. It absolutely blew me how great it sounds.

I was hoping I could get something similar to that signature in my preamp, but I don't even know where to start. So many options, all of them carrying different coloration.

Any suggestions?
