Hello, neronian.

You didn't satte a proice range, but generally Rogue gear is highly regarded. I have a pair of 120 Magnums, and they are sweeeeet.
I know, you were aking on pre's.
Might want to look in a 66 or a 99 (I'll be considering the 99 Magnum in the near future.
I can tell you, tubes are whole different experince. You will fall in love.

Generally,either having a tube preamp or amp mixed with the solid state piece gives superior results.You get the best of both worlds.The most widely mix is tube pre,with solid state amp.I have gotten great results the other way around though.

I agree a tube pre would be a great place to start getting into tubed gear. I would look into BAT tubed pre's, everyone that I know who has one loves them; there are also GREAT things said about the Supertak?? pre it is the item being talked about in the thread entitled "Pre amp deal of the century" look into it- that may be the way to go! Personally I prefer(if solid state must be in the mix) a ss pre and a tube amp, but a tube pre is a good place to start :) Happy Hunting ~Tim
