Berkeley Alpha Reference run direct

Not sure if better, but i would be very curious what a tube preamp would do.  Im in the minority who find the BAD a bit cool, so if i had deep pockets and endless time it want to try a very good tube pre to warm and maybe sprinkle a little magic. ;)

Like I said though, few would agree with me.

By the way, I'm also not saying you SHOULD do any of this.  You just asked about what else you might like to try, hence my suggestions. What you should do is up to your ears and wallet, not mine. :) 

Best,
