Tubed preamp with Krell KSA 150 amp?


I am planning on selling my Audio Research LS3b (ss) pre and trying a tubed pre, possibly a BAT, Aesthetix,modwright, etc.
Any input would be appreciated...I have heard/read that some of the Krell amps need to be tweaked (dc?) to be compatible with a tubed pre.
Thanks,

All I've used with my Krell KSA100s, FPB300 and FPB600 are tube preamps and never had any problems. The only issue I encountered is some tube preamp output impedance is too high and as a result, sound is dull and lacking LF/HF.

If you like MW, Dan is having a LS 100 preamp tour so you can audition before purchase. I think it's 6sn7 base so lots of tube rolling options. You can get more info on AC. Also there are several MW 36.5 on Agon that are reasonably priced.
