Any one out there that has used or listened to this set up?

Its all about synergy between components. One compensates for another since there are no absolutes. your room, your ears, your gear. My Modwright pre-amp has subtle tube overtones but is not very "tubey" with the tubes I have in it. Too many of one thing is bad, but just the right amount...... You will have to experiment yourself.

I prefer the tubed output and have experimented with several different tubes. No one can really say what your system would sound like. It works.......for me.
