oops, Ral, I gave you the wrong idea. I tried a tube pre (Sonic Frontiers) but found the solid state Aleph P more to my liking. Like it's brethren, the X amp, it has a relatively benign sonic stamp. I'm controlling the character of what I am listening to with a Jolida JD-100. With the correct NOS tubes installed, Telefunken, RCA, Siemens, Syvania, this is an inexpensive musical wonder. Ral, I wonder if you have found, like me, Mullards are poor sounding in a revealing system.
By the way, Maggies are great. Biamping is the norm for Apogee users as well.
