Much has been written on tubes vs. solid state. However, I have heard some very nice things from systems with solid state amps and tube preamps. Has anyone had similar experience? Any recommendations on pairing solid state and tubes in this way?
if i had to run half and half. i sure hope that something amp or preamp would contain tubes. conrad would be a good match to tame the krell if that is the amp you plan to keep.
I agree with Tireguy, IF I have to use an active preamp (I prefer passive attenuation), I've gotten better results going with a solid state preamp and a tube amplifier.
Before I had Mark Levinson 380S Pre amp with Mark Levinson 336 amp. they were OK But something was missing so I changed to Audio Reserch Ref MarkII. Now they sound lot deeper and sweeter. I'm very happy with it
Mezmo, everything i've seen, heard or read about the Rogue pre's is very positive. Let us know how things work out for you if you do go that route. Sean >
