A tube preamp should always be used with a solid state amp in my opinion as the solid state amp delivers the power and control while the tube preamp imparts a very nice musicality. For me this has always been the best combination.
Will an entry level tube preamp help w/ B&K ST-140
I have two B&K ST-140's driving 2CE speakers using a rotel tuner pre-amp. Good system for my investment. Would it be recommended to go with a decent tube pre-amp to play off of the already tube-like sound of my amps? Looking for even more detail and 3D sound stage.....thanks
