I ran a Classe solid state amp with a Modulus 3 tube preamp for 20 years and presently run a Stratos solid state amp with a Rogue rp5 tube preamp. Your friend doesn't know what he is talking about.
Tube Pre+ Transistor Power will burn your power Amp. easily?
I used to combine with a tube pre + transistor power with the ideal sound which I prefer. But one of my friend told me recently that such kind of combination will burn out power amp. easily if I use a tube pre.
Is this theory or practice true?
