The reason why I'm asking is that one has shown up used and I'm trying to decide whether or not it would be a good buy, or whether I should go with a pure tube pre-amp. Right now I'm using a Nikko Alhpa 220 amp, that's about 17 years old. It's a great amp, but the matching pre-amp (Beta 20) leaves something to be desired. The old pre-amp is very bright sounding and grainy. I have Newform Research 645 speakers which are very neutral sounding. The combination of the amp/pre-amp is too bright for my taste and I'm trying to warm=up the sound a bit.
