What to look for when buying a preamplifier?

Yep - 10db it is...

Funny how it's taken 6 years for someone to realize that mistake by Feanor

Actually I don't believe Feanor wrote that, it seems to be from the article he quoted. He wouldn't dare make such a blatant mistake around these parts

If you look again, you'll find that comment was a quote from an excerpt from a review from Enjoy the Music magazine as aa said.

Indeed ... and I knew better even back then.

I don't really think near enough time is spent on this area of a system, instead amps are the more popular and involving topics. I've always just used the pre-outs from old receivers to act as pre-amps. What should one look for when buying a pre-amp (other than # and types of inputs/outputs)? What makes one better than the next? Any good, cheap preamps you'd recommend?

Tubes, Tubes and more Tubes. Oh yeah, and lots of pretty lights!
