I currently am using an Audio Research LS27 tube preamp. After close to 50 years as an audiophile, I have found that a true quality tube preamplifer is the single most important part of a high end audio system itself. I have previously had an Ayre K1xe and presently am usng a Rega Orisis integrated, but neither can come close to my LS27. It seems that what goes into my Audio Research LS27, what come out sounds even better. It's that simple. Just one person's opinion.
I'm considering replacing my passive preamp with a tubes. Is it worth it?
I would like to know if it would be worth it to trade my passive preamp for tube. Would the change make a significant improvement?
My setup:
Magnepan MG .7
Mod Squad Line Drive passive preamp
Bryston 4b-st amp
Rythmik f12 sub
Bluesound Node
Tidal streaming
My budget on a preamp would be $1k. If the answer is "yes" then opinions would be welcomed.
thanks
