Musical Fidelity A3cr Pre compared to Tubes

Go figure ... I am using a MF CD PRE 24 with a Prima Luna PL 5 power amp. I like the control that the SS preamp adds to the tube power amp.

Rich: I agree, different tastes and setups for almost all of us here. But that is the nature of the hobby, no two people hear the same thing the same exact way.

Hawk I used the A3CR preamp with A308 MF power amp. Loved the combination. Very detailed and dynamic...but a bit bright with my Vienna Acoustic Haydns.

What are your speakers?

Primaluna and better 12 type tubes should provide you with a great listening experience.

Lapierre, my speakers are Nola Viper IIa's, recently purchased on the 'gon. So many people have said that Nola/Alons sound best with tube gear, that I have been on this quest to find a decent tube preamp for not alot of money. My MF A3cr power amp just seems too good to me to discount just because its not tube gear. Therefore, this is why I've been asking questions MF pres vs tube pre's. Thanks for your input.
