Tubes plus SS


Much has been written on tubes vs. solid state.
However, I have heard some very nice things from
systems with solid state amps and tube preamps.
Has anyone had similar experience? Any recommendations
on pairing solid state and tubes in this way?

After owning the Electrocompaniet ECI-3 amd Simaudio Moon I-5 solid state integrateds, I have found true happiness with the BC21 tube preamp and BC22 solid state amp from Blue Circle. Being that the BC22 is rated at 120wpc versus the 70wpc for the two integrateds and having a nice tube preamp as a compliment, I find the Blue Circle combo to be more dynamic and much smoother. Overall, very good dynamics, liquidity and amazing soundstaging.
