The Nakamich 420 souds excellent combined with a Supratek preamp.A lot of SS power amps sound quite good but are not transparent so impose too much of their own sound . Using a top flight preamp with them does not improve them greatly.The 420 allows the benefits of a good preamp through.The Usher R1.5 is also excellent in that regard.
