Add a pre-amp to Mola Mola Tambaqui?

thanks for the leads

Interesting comments about the amp

So how about the krell illusion preamp? If pre-amp pairing is more about matching amp than it is about changing sound signature

what better way to match then use flagship pre-amp from same company?

I could even connect the amp and pre with CAST interconnect, which would be very appealing 

and yes the illusion is a very expensive pre-amp but on the used market its often found below 10k

see ultimately I'm only getting a pre-amp for sound quality. I dont need it for connectivity. Not to mention the mola mola has a decent volume control, and the lumin has an EXCELLENT volume control with leedh. 

dont get me wrong having the pre-amp functionality is nice, but I kinda view it as a glorified power conditioner in a way

thanks very much for all the feedback. I am now looking at these recommendations.

The reason I am leaning toward a warmer preamp is because I use a pair of stealth audio silver speaker cables that use helium vacuum dielectric. The dielectric constant is close to 1.0... So in terms of speed, these are as fast sounding as they get. They are a good match with the blades as it amplifies all the strengths of the speakers. lots of subjective "air" from the cables combined with the uni-q design of the blades already gives an ultra detailed, transparent, and holographic presentation

So I’m very much worried about a clinical sound signature. I dont want something that would spoil the sound I’m getting and be dry

I can very much afford something more analog sounding as I’m sure the presentation will still be ultra detailed

One of the main attractions to the Tambaqui to me is that it doesnt sound very digital.

It’s all about system matching

also, and i dont know if this is allowed on the forums, I dont know ultimately where to buy the tambaqui. The only online seller I can see is the music room. I would prefer to buy direct from a dealer. I live in Illinois if that helps. thanks

I heard it but I don’t own it

i have friends.... i would just go to the same place he bought his except he bought a used unit and i cant seem to find one..

i check this website every day and never see it drop on the market
