dehavilland ultraverve preamp with ss amp

Anyone have experience with this combo. I recently tried ultraverve with mccormack dna 1. While I enjoyed alot about the ultraverve, found the combo to overemphasize the mid to upper bass. I haven't heard this in either component before, ultraverve with dehavilland amp or mccormack with ss preamp. ? whether tube rolling dehavilland would help or just not a good match and why. The midrange with this combo was fantastic though. Appreciate any info-thanks- Joe

i have auditioned the ultraverve in my own stereo system.
i did not find the pre amp tube-like ar all. it sounds a lot like a ss preamp.

try a ss preamp with the mccormack.

we all hear differently. if two audiophiles listen to the same stereo system, there will be three descriptions of the sound.

i have heard the ultraverve in my own system and with other dehavilland products. i stand by my description. it is likely that someone else in the same wroom with me would have a different assessment, which illustrates the problem of eliciting opinions.
