Several months ago I retired my SS power amp in favor of a Jolida 502P. Currently I'm using a Forte model F-44 SS preamp. I really like the change to tubes but now I'm questioning whether or not I should switch to a tube preamp as well. I would like to hear any feedback.
If you have a tube amp it makes sense to have a tube preamp. The usual route most go is the opposite of what you have,tube preamp and solid state power amp. Go with tubes all the way!
Milpai, A tube preamp will not take out speakers if a tube fails. A tube preamp has low output tubes and they last for years. Just more audiophile paranoia! BTW there is no maintenance required.
