Tubed pre-amp for solid state amp?

I have to thank all of YOU, for the advice! I will currently audition the used CJ pv-10, that i "borrowed" from my local dealer, just for about one week. I don't know if i will be able to come to definite conclusion but...? Also, the interconnect that he gave me is MIT Ythe Link 100! Thanks Again! Satwanth

I have used a CJ PV11 for years with a Krell KSA100 MK2. Iknow 3 other people that use this combo although with a PV10A and a PV9A all systems are awesome. great combo.

How about the Audio Electronic Supply AE-3 tube pre-amp (made by Cary). $399 as a kit! $599 assembled! For $800, you could have them build it, and even get the optional oil filled caps and JAN tubes.
