Tube CD player and no pre-amp

I have an Ah! Njoe Tjoeb 4000, and decided to try not using my Bryston preamp, going directly into my Pass amp. I am amazed how much more I like it. But it is running a 20ft interconnect. Am I making a mistake?

I called Upscale Audio and they said no problem even though the input impedence of my Pass Aleph is low.

So now I want to know will trying different op-amps make a difference in my CD player? Upscale Audio is supposed to offer a kit soon, but I don't know if they sound the same.

Anyone else going "pre-ampless"?

I will get rid of my Bryston and get a tube preamp. The Ah! Njoe Tjoeb opened my eyes to something that is different. Most fun I have had for the money. I want to get the op-amp flavor pack they will have. It's only about $60 they said, and will give me three more sets.

The output voltage can be changed on the Tjoeb, and I will try that to use my second set of speakers.
