Re: Advise, what tube Pre-Amp under $3,500 to match Krell SS

205.188.199.36

No offense intended to SS fans or Krell, as it is great stuff, but for that liquid tube sound, of which I am a devout follower, why not go tubular on the amp as well? I find that tube watts go a lot further than SS watts.

I was recently listening to a Krell power some upper model Theils through a Marantz top of the line CD player. Oooooooh, shrill. Then the same rig powered by a C-J tube amp and pre. Very nice (even though I find Theils a bit bright).

For the cost of the Krell, an all tube rig may just put you in Nirvana.
