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.

I have always preferred 6922 based preamps . 6922s do vary in sound between good NOS tubes and new units like the JJ which I liked a lot. That's just personal taste. see

1It's not a matter of better just slightly different sonics. Solid state is a whole  different sound. Me, I'd find a decent 6922 preamp and then play a little with tube rolling. If you're using a Schitt youmight try the LISST ss substitute. It's only $50.
