The W5Ms are incredible amps and even stock they sound incredibly good due to the iron and Williamson circuit.If your preamp us to the task,those amps don't care what you drive them with but no matter what you are using,it should be upgraded and even the W5Ms should be upgraded to modern components.The DHT preamp you have will do your amps proud as long as its clean and hum free. I use a Fisher 400CX2,a Heathkit AA-11,Fisher 80c pair,Audio research SP3A1,Mcintosh C20,HK Citation 1,Fisher 400c,and an AirTight ATE-2. All have been upgraded and treated to McShane type rebuilds and a few extra tweaks of my own.

Michael,
Thanks for the feedback. Now I'm definitely going to try them in my main system.
And wow - that's an enviable list of preamps in your arsenal!
