Re: tube preamp with ss amp

I do. In terms of the tube sound, IMO, it depends a lot on the particular preamp. Some don't sound real tubey. OTOH, it made a big difference for the better in my system. And yes, a tube pre can add warmth and improve the sound quite a bit. Then you also get to play with different tubes to tailor the sound to your preference. I found that NOS tubes were much better in the warmth category than the stock tubes that came with mine.

As far as drawbacks, the only one I can see is the lack of a tube amp, hehehe ;)
