Warmer sounding Solid State
Find a retro nad, you cant beat that for the price and rework.I build them up on a daily basis, run a retro repair center in ct sa. 
What will a preamp do for me?
And at a guess you would have a 4-250 or 4-1000 drawing more current to warm her up than most use to keep the house warm on a cold night.
