Mating an AR LS3B with a CJ Sonographe sa 400?

Agreed, but for now I will have to stick with my AR pre...I imagine that I could achieve better sound through the synergy with matched amp and pre. That being said, I'm hoping that someone could share their knowledge or experience and help me determine if I can get enjoyable sound from this combo, or am I going to be frustrated/disappointed.
thanks - Paul

I do not believe that you will have a problem pairing most SS preamps with your Sonographe SA-400. I ran an SA-400 with a CJ PF-R SS pre for a while - it worked very well. I have also paired the SA-400 with an Audio Reseach LS-15 tube unit and it was also a good match. You should have no problems with your LS-3B.

If you do ever want to kick it up a notch; look for a good used CJ PV-12 tube pre.

thanks Br, how do you think that the SA would do with my speakers, running 6 ohms, 90 db?

Paul, which speakers are you using?
