Dear friends
 
I do need your help.
I bought a second hand Mark Levinson ML 23.5 power amp.
Now I want to buy a pre amp but I can't afford a Levinson pre amp.
I was impressed by the Doge 8 tubes pre amp.
Please consider that I do listen only records/ vinyls.
My questions are:
1- do you think it could be a good match?
2- I've heard that the stock chinese tubes (n° 4 12AX7 for Phono  & n° 4 12AT7for line stage)   are not so good and sounds too bright
and rolling with the RCA tubes the sound is great. Would you suggest me?
 
I thank everyone could give me suggestion and support
