I have been considering getting a tubed Rogue RP-7 to pair with my Jeff Rowland S.S. Model 12 monoblocks but I was not certain that the RP-7 would be $4500 better than my Classe SSP-800's analog pass through.
Your tube preamp and ss amp thread
Last night I was listening to my tube preamp and my tube mono blocks, noticed an imbalance in the sound, and as usual I traced it to a tube problem in the mono blocks. Luckily, I also own a ss stereo amp as a 'backup'. IME, ss amps tend to be a lot more reliable than tube amps. Nonetheless, I would be interested in how many other folk run a tube preamp and ss amp combo, and if so, what are your choices.
