Preamp for Magnepan

thanks everyone. I've heard from others that Jeff Rowland, Classe and McCormack would be good fits. Any further thoughts?

which tube preamps do you recommend?

Hey, has anyone tried running a DAC/Pre to SS amp to Maggies?
DACs such as the Alpha DAC, Bel Canto 3.5vb, Weiss ...

Charile,

This weekend I listened to the Weiss DAC 202 and the Berkeley Alpha DAC, although not with Maggies. Each sounded excellent and, IMO, best when connected directly to the amp, rather than through either a SS or tube preamp. This was especially so with High Rez music, but with CDs as well. I will demo each at home when my Maggies arrive (hopefully) in July. The tube preamps seemed to my ears to muffle the sound. I preferred the definition from the DACs to the amps without any preamp.

Regards, Steve

Thanx for the link, Muralman. Just don't think I need a pre.
I'll report on this when the Maggies arrive and I have a chance to demo the DACs with them at home.
