Warm, rich but detailed SS preamp (made you give up tubes)


Anyone come a cross a warm, rich but detailed solid state preamp that engaged you and gave you that spatiality of a good tube preamp?

I suppose im thinking of C900u or Accuphase?

Lamm Industries L2.1 Reference. It isn’t "warm" - it’s extraordinarily natural, and I’d argue that’s what you meant in your description and the only thing you’d want for long term satisfaction.

Here’s a review in Stereophile magazine: https://www.stereophile.com/content/lamm-industries-l21-reference-preamplifier, and another in The Absolute Sound: https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/lamm-industries-l21-reference-line-preamplifier. It's a special piece.

Industry disclosure: I’m a Lamm dealer.
Moon is more neutral than Pass.  I've owned both.  No doubt.  

BAT - good option.
@gestalt I'll take a look, thanks!@dodgealum Im not totally ruling them out but I love the reliability of SS and not having to fiddle with tubes or worried about it blowing up for some reason.
