I use a CJ Premier 17 and have to say, I turn it off when not in use. I don't hear much improvement with warm up and have concerns about energy use(I know, turning off my Pre Amp, aint going to save the planet). I think any of the premier series 10,14, 16, 17, will be all you ever need.
Is a tube preamp a good idea?
I'm interested in getting a tube preamp to match with my PS Audio HCA2. The idea is to mainly use it for music, but I also use it for TV and movies. It's generally on all day for satellite music as well as pre-recorded music and later at night for TV. With the extensive time of being powered up each day, is a tube pre a good idea or am I going to go through tubes like water? Thanks Goners for your insight.
