In Reply to: RE: what preamp posted by unclestu on October 23, 2014 at 23:34:47
Preamp is solid state, a Hegel P30. It's clean and neutral, kinda like I found in the Quicksilver Silver 88s. I had a tube pre-out DAC (AMR DP-777), and the sounds were close, but I had reliability problems with the AMR. The Heel is not without a problem though, and that's the remote jumps in big db steps... I wouldn't have bought it had I demo'd the remote. Source are FLACS and DSD from a SoTM Zuma CAPS music computer into a Hegel HD25 DAC (strong, warm sound).

Shucks , with a tube amp like a Quicksilver thought you had a tube preamp and sometimes rolling tubes there is more helpful.
Sorry not familiar at all with the Hegel
Thanks ok, the Hegel is very neutral... so much so it derailed my notions of getting a tube preamp. Anyways, I'm not necessarily looking for a big change in the sound, just want to stock up on a set of tubes that will project a good soundstage and have articulate bass extension.
Wondering about Brimar 12BH7 vs. RCA Blackplate
Wondering about Mullard 12AX7 square vs. halo getter
Thanks!
