Can we use TUBE PREAMP with SS AMP ?

Jelloistarca, I'm puzzled by your warning to only use a balanced interconnect between a tube preamp and SS amp. Could you expand on this a bit? What would you do if the pre and amp don't support balanced?

Do you know where i can get a good deal on BAT VK30 new or used?

Grandpad, for reasons completely unexplicable I've found single ended interconnects from preamp to amp make excellent antennas. I had an annoying low level hum I just could not get rid of, switched to balanced cable, sweet silence! What a revelation. If you don't have balanced outputs on your preamp or balanced inputs on your amp you can always use Balanced-Single ended connectors sold by PAD or BAT.

Goone...VK30's do come up on the used market. I bought mine right here on the 'Gon. Jeff

MANY people use this combination. In fact the Blue Circle BC21 tube preamp and BC22 solid state that I'm using were designed to be a pair. Bascially, you get the smoothness of tubes with the power of SS. Have fun.
