I have heard of the "tube rush" only thing is this is the first tube preamp I've used or heard so I cannot compare it to anything as of yet.

I would like to try the attenuators, been reading about them...any negative effects on SQ?


What I'm experiencing with this preamp, is mainly hiss with a very slight hint of grit in the hiss...like a guitar amp but not as loud.

The hiss is on every input, volume turned down, when seated 9' away, I can barely hear it but it's audible, when muted it's gone. When I turn the volume half way up its clearly audible and this is especially on quiet passages in the music.

This happens on any tube combination.

Also, when I have the CD/DAC connected to the CD input, I can change inputs and with the volume halfway up I can hear the material from the CD input on other inputs. This is irregardless of inputs or outputs.

Don't get me wrong, this 2.5 sounds extremely good, but the hiss on quiet passages from 9' away concerns me.
