You also may very much like what you hear. Many audiophiles use a good tube preamp into a SS Amp. Just make sure the output ohms of the tube preamp will be a match for your SS amp.. SF and BAT and CJ and AR and Rouge all make good tube preamps that will work well for your situation... Me personally,,, I much prefer a tube preamp to a SS preamp. I think your thinking on the right path. Keep doing research and asking questions. You will do fine with a tube preamp if you don't mind messing with tubes.. You can get to play with the sound using different tubes.. The sound can amaze ya with the right comination. Nothing wrong with using a tube preamp and SS amp or visa virsa..
Tube pre into SS Amps for Home Theater?
I have purchased a stand alone home theater processor that relies upon an outboard preamp. Currently, my HT amplifiers are SS. Would I have any special problems using a tubed preamp to run this 5.1 channel system, that are different from the ones normally encountered when running tubed pre into 2 channel SS amplifiers?
Thanks in advance
