Any point in adding tube preamp to SS integrated?


I have a Classe CAP 101 integrated amp which has no amp in inputs. Would it make any sense to add a tube preamp via the tape in input? the amp drives B&W floorstanding speakers (CDM9NT)and sounds pretty good, but I'd like a little tube magic. This is a second system for me, and I'm used to tubes in my main system. Also, if anyone has speaker wire recommendation for this set up, plse advise; currently using Kimber 4TC and was thinking of trying Speltz anti-cables.....thx in advance for any assistance....

The Classe' integrated is a fine piece of gear.... however if you want tube majic... sell the Classe' and get a true tube integrated like Manley... uses EL84 output tube and can be oerated in triode mode as well a ultralinier. Lots of tube majic there at a very reasonable price. There other good choices too. I would spend some time learning about tubes and the way they sound before making a choice.

Good Luck
In my experience it will take a little of the digital edge off things but it is far from giving you "tube magic". For that you really need at minimum a tube amp and preferably an all tube system. A SET system is even better.
Thank you Al. You have given me something to think about. Perhaps I will still try a tuber preamp with the CAP 101 integrated some day for fun.
