@avanti1960 I think AVA does and McIntosh if you were looking for matched components. But you are probably right.
Another reason is that there are limited (any?) manufacturers that make both a solid state preamp and tube based power amp.
SS Preamp with Tube Amps? Don't se it often. Why?
Just a silly question.
Why is we do not see many SS pre-amp with tube power amplifier set ups?
I am sure there are some but I have not seen many.
