@charles007100 the preamp section in MA3i is excellent. If you have only one source you can easily do without a preamp. You’d have to introduce a preamp that’s a much higher level than XP-12 to make a significant improvement.

3) Tube preamp + SS amp
4) Tube amp
5) Class A SS amp with zero/low feedback
6) High bias Class A/AB with zero/low feedback

@audphile1 How is your impression about CJ ET3? Not SE model. Do you agree with what the reviewers say about it? I spot a deal but, according to the reviewers, it is an opposite side of sound I am after... Thx.
