Tube Pre for Digital Amp

Thanks to all for your input; I have auditioned several high quality tube pre's, and as mentioned above, the added dynamics to a fast, agile amp is really the best of both worlds, in my opinion. I think it is well worth the effort, and further, i think that tube preæs might actually work best with digital amps. Dan

Hi,

We chose the Consonance Reference tube pre after comparing based on design, performance and reliability. Great match with digital amps.

I own the Spectron Musician 1 amp and have just found
the magic tube pre amp. It's not even known yet as
far as I know, but it is a Eastern Electric Mini Max.
It can be found at Galen Carol Audio, but sure who else
carries it at this time.

It sounds so dang good, I now have to live without a remote
which I would not believe I could ever do, but I guess
I have to get used to it now. I do not want to sacrifice
the magic I have now found.

I have a BC-21 tube pre in front of the PS Audio HCA-2 and the sound is very musical. Best of both worlds in my opinion.

It would seem that for those who are listening to digital amps with tubes in front, the phrase, "best of both worlds," would apply. -Dan
