I have a Conrad Johnson PV-7 preamp that I want to couple with SS as well as tube amps. I want to put a Bryston SP1.7 in between the CJ and the amps. The CJ is desirable to me for the phono stage and also to impart a "tubey" sound before it gets to the Bryston's neutral analog passthrough. The SS amps will be driving the home theater arrangement and, depending on my mood and the music to be played, I want to switch to tubes for the fronts. Is this at all practical? Aside from switching out some IC's and speaker cable?
My speakers are Thiel CS2.4's. I am looking to purchase the Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista 21 DAC when it comes out in a few weeks. I haven't decided on a TT or digital front end yet. Amps will probably be Bryston or Theta for SS and I have a Dynaco Stereo 70 that I am going to mod for the Thiels (for the time being until I can afford more power).
Thanks for any more input :)
