| How hard is this on a tube pre amp? It's not really that loud since the recorded signal is low. It's about as loud as 11:00 on most standard CDs. (Rock) | |
| Mark Levinson 333.5 vs Emotiva XPR-1 Monoblocks I would keep the Levinson for sure, especially if you had Alex go through it. Should be good for years to come. But let me know if you sell it... : ) | |
