I have been into high end audio for close to half a century and have found that using a true quality tube line stage preamp such as my present Audio Research LS27 is the most significant part of a true quality audio system itself. More so than the speakers being used or even the audio source itself. I previously had a op of the line Ayre solid state syste,-K1xe preamp and first version of their mono amplifiers. I have had top of the line B@W 800 diamond speakers. Still, nothing else has made anywhere near the overall sound audio reproduction than the simple use of my LS27. In fact, presently I am only using my Odyssey Khartago extreme solid state amplifier and am getting a great sound on my own Martin/Logan speakers. Also my top of the line Rega Osiris integrated sounds great thru an old pair of Stax headphones but can not compare overall to quality seperates.
