Dagostino hd momentum, is lack of rubes a problem?

Nice reply mr george.  Maybe a cheaper pre with tubies and then spend the farm on a nice ss pre.  Maybe two pres will cure my mental turmoil.

then spend the farm on a nice ss pre.

Why spend the farm on a pre.
Like I said if you need to color the sound to your liking with a tube pre, you don’t get off on the sound of your source.
Better to change the source to one you like.

If you don’t change your source get a $49 Schiit Sys passive pre after it.

Then the Sys into the $299 Schiit 6 band Lokius EQ, and it to your amp

A solid state pre amplifier has always sounded better to me with a solid state amplifier i always hear a bad impedance mismatch when i have tried to mix the two types, tubes and transistors.

So confusing
is impedance matching meaningful? How does it work?

It said but undocumented and I agree, to use a minimum of 1:10 min ratio. (output impedance into input impedance) 1:20 even better
