Anyone have any thoughts on this? 
Looking for a solid state preamp for Krell fpb 250m monoblocks
Michael,Do you have the FPB 250M monos or 300 Stereo amp? I couldn't tell because there's conflicting statements in your opening question. I own the FPB 250M monos and am interested in hearing which tube preamp you decide on. Gary
