I'm thinking of getting into tubes, what do you

If you are using Krell amp then tubes preamp is not
advisable.IMHO you have to adjust something inside the
amp first,This is just a caution.

Thanks Jayctoy. Yes I know about the Krell solidstate--tubes mismatch. I sold my Krell amps a few months back. I'm going to be building a completely different kind of system now.

Update. I'm purchasing a BAT VK-30 tube preamp (no updates--yet) and a BAT VK-200 solid state amplifier. Any experience with, or thoughts on, this combo? Any experience with this combo teamed with a BAT VK-D5 cd player?

Update. I've got the BAT VK-30 and BAT VK-200 in my system and working now. It sounds nice but it's a lot warmer than I expected and seems to be lacking in detail. Either I need more time to let this system 'burn in'. Or maybe it was a mistake after all to get into tubes. Any thoughts?

Gfloyd53,
Don't worry, just a little case of "culture shock". I had the same experience when I bought a VAC tube pre to go with my SS amp. Let it burn in a little more,150-200 hrs, before you do any critical listening.
