My generic advice is that you would be a lot happier with the right tube power amps. Doubting you would consider that I suggest you get a tube preamp. If you have $1200 to spend the AES AE-3 is still available new and if you can get one used allthe better. There are on occasion impedance mismatches so get more specific advice and buy cheaply unless money is not a big issue. Anyway I still advocate tubes somewhere that why I say try any good tube pre and see if it meets your needs.
Pre amp for Nuforce Reference 9 mono's
Hi,
Wondering if anyone can recommend a good tube or SS pre amp to mate with these amps? Very open, detailed & transparent and think if I can add just a smidge more of organic texture, I will have it all. Using with an Emotiva pre/dac and am sure as good as it is for the price, adding a dedicated preamp is the way to go. Playing with various cables as well, and am open to suggestions there as well as I have read they can be very cable dependent to.
System consists of:
Nuforce Referece 9 mono blocks
Usher 8871 DMD Diamonds
Oppo BDP 83
Apply Tv
Thanks for any suggestions.
