Pre-amp Suggestion

Graaf amps can warm up a room with all those tubes! I doubt they sound warm! Silly how tube amps are thought to sound "warm"! Just buy a transparent preamp like a Benchmark and stop worrying about using a preamp as a tone control.

@jasonbourne71  Well yes LA4 is on my list. Wanted to know what other Graaf owners liked to pair theirs with. Thanks for the suggestion.

When I still had my GM20 I used to run it with a 13.5b with fine results. Have since moved to Wavac. There is nothing ‚warm‘ or wooly about Graaf OTLs

I had once a Graafiti amp, basically Graafs second label so to speak it was pushpull and not OTL and even that amp was the opposite of warm. I'd suggest a good tubed preamp and the 13.5 @antigrunge2 is suggesting would be a perfect match.

Yes, tube amps are thought to sound warm, and silver cables are bright. Really? Because silver is shiny? Jason is on to something here. 

Hi. I bought this preamplifier recently. I’m so happy with it.

what tubes are you using for graaf?

@nadimjaber mine is Graaf GM 100 (TL). I'm using Mullards for all signal tubes and Valvo PL504 for power.

Hi. I’m Nadim, I am using tubes REFLECTOR ‘72 and others of VOSHKO ‘75. Recently, I have bought some REFLECTORS ‘74 SWGR silver shield and hoping that they are as good as they say.

My associated amplifiers are AGD audio. I’m very happy with the sound of the pre-amplifier with the amplifiers
