I tried various combos of amps and pre amps over many decades. In the end I generally preferred a solid state amp and a tube preamp.
going from tube preamp to solid state
just toying around with this and it might not even happen.
have a tube preamp now and while i might sell this later on and get another preamp.......have there been members that have had a tube preamp, sold it and went to a solid state preamp and kept it ? or did you prefer the tube preamp sound and went back to it ?
maybe got a tube preamp that uses different tubes than the previous one did ?
the preamp i have now, i like the way it sounds, but just not a fan of the 6sn7 and never really have been. i prefer the 6922, 12au7 / 12ax7 tubes better.
