Hi am following this thread with interest as I am keen to try a valve pre, did have the Glasshouse TVC for a week to go with my Glasshouse 300b. It was very good detailed etc. But ultimately didn't have the drive I'm looking for.
I noticed that Promitheus now have a valve buffered TVC the Apollo
and was wondering if any one had heard this looks like it could be just what I'm looking for.

just a few apollos are shipped so far. the reviews of promitheus TVC with the tube buffer were so far mixed - for some it does, for some not.
my experience is if you want a really good drive (not in terms of gain but groove, dynamics and prat) from a valve pre, you need to go for a transformer coupled ones - some manufacturers were already mentioned (WD, airtight, shindo, EAR, etc).
