Not sure i am mature enough for a tube preamp, so my quest would be for a transistor pre with a hint of tube sound. What would be your suggestions? Btw, needs to be balanced as my active speakers only accept balanced.
BAT VK-40 had a reputation to be warmer than their tube preamps.But I don't understand your fundamental problem to just buy a tube preamp it that's the sound you prefer. BTW I am using an Ayre K5-xemp.
