Silver Pioneer and Tubes???

Hello,

I would greatly appreciate any guidance from the folks in this forum who can provide advice regarding an appropriate way to integrate tubes into a vintage silver Pioneer system.

Specifically, my components include a SX-1280 receiver, SA-9500II and SA-8500II amps, and a PL-530 turntable. Speakers include a pair of JBL L65�s and L300�s. I primarily listen to classic rock all on vinyl. As you can see I haven�t left the 1970�s�

Anyway, I�m considering a venture into tubes; however, I understand a high-end tube amp with ample wpc would be needed to drive the power-hungry L300�s. Since budget is a consideration, I�m considering going with a tube pre-amp using the SA-9500II or SA-8500II supplying the power.

Would a vintage Dynaco PAS tube pre-amp or more contemporary model such as a Jolida Fusion would be a good choice considering the components I currently have? Would a tube pre-amp add that much more to this system�s performance or would the change be negligible?

All opinions and recommendations are eagerly welcomed and appreciated.

Thank you,
