amplifiers tube vs. solid state


Hello all,

i have a mark levinson 380s solid state preamp. kef 205 reference floor standing speakers and a meridian g08 player. also a mission 775 turn table for my record collection. 

Im seriously thinking of taking out my existing ARC sd125 solid state and replacing with a tube amplifier.  looking a the ARC reference 110.

Just dont know how a tube amplifier will fit in with my solid state preamp.

Tubes in either your preamp or your amp can give you the best of both worlds.  Most people go with the tube preamp and SS amp, but I have done it both ways. I’ve been a tube guy and a separates guy most of my life, but have just recently gone to the dark side.  A SS integrated with KEF speakers and have mostly good things to say.

All the best.
