pre amp advise

What flavor Tube or SS?

Good preamps take your system to the next level of soundstage with micro details and depth which create a better sound experience.

Jupiter Series: Callisto Eclipse
Shindo Masseto

Tube: Audio Research REF 3 or REF 5

That amp is rediculously good. Neutrality and resolution are exceptional from my experience. Pair it with a tubed pre and you will be in heaven. Though, not just any. A VTL 7.5 will pair excellently with it. Also, Nagra pairs well with it. Look at Leben. I think that would be the best out of the three, though ony of the three choices would be marvelous.

Tube preamp all the way. I have a Joule-Electra LA300ME preamp and I don't know how it can get any better.
