Preamp for Magnepan

tubed preamp: i like the spaciousness + quiet + phonostage of my mfa magus a-2. (it's for sale but if unsold i'll continue using it in my main setup another 20 years. i don't feel compelled to buy anything new, just testing the waters. it replaced a noisy c-j i had had 11 years.

i have maggies & they have loved my c-j (tubed) & mfa (hybrid) preamps. i echo tubes for preamps & ss for poweramps.

tubes for air & spaciousness & silky sound, matched w/ss for quick transient response = one of those rare, but oh so worthwhile, good marriages. tubes give you a movie w/a story to tell, ss the dynamics you get from rapid special effect scenes. (tube preamps - you'll change tubes less frequently & at a far lower cost then large costly power amp tubes.) by the way, i have IIIa's rebuilt to 3.6's but the old crossover.
