Tomic601: I use an Aesthetix Callisto Eclipse for my pre and agree that the Eclipse is the way to go. Ref150SE?? - I don’t see that on your list, but presume you are speaking of audio Research. I would suggest you audition the VM-220, tubes are perpendicular and has bass with tubes that must be heard. (preferable to my Ear). I also have the Bel Canto Ref600m and feel they are great for class D, but lack the midrange warmth that a tubed amp provides.
Have you ever listened to a tube buffer with SS amps? Much less fuss than a tube amp but you do get warmth.
I have also gone through the heard with headphone amps and settled on the Woo Audio 5-LE with 1940 tubes, but that is for another discussion.
