You know, you're right. I'm thinking an ARC, maybe an LS25 to take advantage of the balanced operation. And impedence should be fine; the Rowland is 40k. Thanks for the reality check guys.
Which vintage tube pre for my class D amp?
My home system is Leben to Devore, very tubey and beautiful.
But I have a Jeff Rowland class D amp sitting around and thought I would hook it up to some Devore 9s I have for a system at my design studio. Just for fun and in the spirit of experimentation I figured I'd pair the tiny ICEpower Rowland with a vintage tube pre, some massive old thing, and check out the whole digital amplification/tube preamp angle, which some people are gung ho about.
So, any recommendations for a big old beautiful tube pre? Would be great if it had balanced outs to go to the Rowland.
Thanks!
