Tube preamp with the right solid state or hybrid amp. Tube amps just have too much maintenance for me, especially my older ones that don’t autobias I have PSAudio BHK 300 monoblocks and also the Stellar M1200 monoblocks. My tube preamp is the stellar Aric Audio Motherlode XL. I also use a Space-Tech super rectifier. This has been audio heaven for me.
Tube Amp or Tube Pre Amp
For those of you who have experience with tubes, what would be your preference.
Tube Amp with tube preamp, Tube Amp with solid state preamp, or Solid state Amp with tube preamp
My system currently is Mcintosh MC352 Amp Solid State, Mcintosh C49 Pre Amp SS, Klipsch Cornwall IV speakers.
I want to try tubes so with my current set up should I go tube amp or tube preamp?
Thanks
