Solid state,KLYNE.Goes well with solid state or tubes.You will get the best of DETAIL and Romance.If you want a nice tube preamp I would suggest the Conrad Johnson Premier 3.You dont see too many folks selling theirs.My buddy is using the CJ with a Krell and he told me it blows away the Krell preamp.
Tube pre-amp for "ss" amp?
Ok guy's, i am convinced! I've been following discussions, for weeks, and heard good arguments for using a "tubed" pre-amp with "ss" amps. The question i have is that i own Linn Majik integrated, with amp-pre outputs. Which means i CAN use Linn, as either sole Pre-amp, or Amp only. Soo, which "combo"(if any) i should applicate? Majik as Pre-amp with tube amp? Or, Majik as amp only, with "tubed" pre-amp. I favor "detail" instead of "romance"! Thanks!
