The only reason Krell cautions against tube preamps is because their amps have no coupling capacitor. A lot of tube preamps leak DC and will activate Krell's protection circuitry. Krell now has a way to use tube amps with their gear. But, I have used tubes in front of my Krell amp for years and have never had a problem.
Tube or SS preamp use with SS amp???
I'm wondering about switching to the Mcintosh 2200 tube preamp from the C100 Solid State McIntosh preamp.
I am running two MC352 Solid State Amplifiers, however, and wonder if I should be mixing the system.
Would this be a sonic change? If so, would it be "warmer" or what?
Thanks for any/all opinions and help.
