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

I totally agree with jmcgrogan2 it depends but I see some pretty cool tubed preamps for sale here in your price range.

No affiliation with any sellers those both look like good deals and good preamps, good luck and happy listening!
