Just my personal experience. I thought I’d never go back to SS for my pre until my Luxman started acting up. I’d always wanted an Audio Research pre and figured this was as good a time as I was likely to see. I’ve been using the ARC for about 6 weeks now I guess and don’t feel like I’m missing anything at this point. Power amps are still tubes, so there’s that.
going from tube preamp to solid state
just toying around with this and it might not even happen.
have a tube preamp now and while i might sell this later on and get another preamp.......have there been members that have had a tube preamp, sold it and went to a solid state preamp and kept it ? or did you prefer the tube preamp sound and went back to it ?
maybe got a tube preamp that uses different tubes than the previous one did ?
the preamp i have now, i like the way it sounds, but just not a fan of the 6sn7 and never really have been. i prefer the 6922, 12au7 / 12ax7 tubes better.
