hair brained idea and a hello

I was wondering if anybody had any info for some hair brained idea i have.

Right now i have a project rpm 5.1 with the stamdard pearl needle, rollunning into an upgraded interal cambridge 640 with upgreated sound chips and high quality ports.

Now i cant evenenjoy rather bright sounding vinyl sound.

I was wondering if anyone has "daisy chained" for the lack of a better term a tube preamp and a solid state amp such as the cambridge.

I am interested in what kind of change i would get at all trying to daisy chain these amps or if somebody with more knowledge or experience then i, as im a mid 20 year old just getting into this whole audiophile side of enjoying vinyl.

-any reading, knowledge, anything would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

@Swampwalker my budget is next to none.

I should have about 1000 extra when when my tax return shows up on the 18th.

Idk if this helps at all or not but i do ave have a spare pioneer vsx-1015tx-k receiver. With some crap speakers.

I wouldnt mind piecing together the system. I have the TT and cart i like, i like my preamp. Just everything passed that.

Check emotiva out. It's very good gear for very reasonable prices. Call them and they can help get you lined out with what you need. I am thinking a USP-1 with a UPA-200 and a set of their towers. This should bring you to about $1200 for a good starter system.

The Cambridge 640 is a bright sounding little piece of crap, IMHO. The sooner you ditch it the happier you will be. The Bellari, Hagerman Bugle, or Musical Fidelity will all cost around the same amount.
