Using Double Preamplification vs X10D V3

At this point, I'd like to take the opportunity to point out that Drmoles asked for impressions from people who have tried the aforementioned solid-state/tube setup. He did not ask for advice on how to build an all-out assault on the art preamp... I believe that would be a different question.

I would like to mention the fact that I am matching a MF 3.2 cr pre with a Rogue Magnum Pre going to a Jeff Rowland Amp. I have achieved a sound, which, I suspect, would cost a lot of dough investing in the perfect pre.
I have done the homework prior to matching amp to preamp by checking to output impedances and input impedances of the equipment mentioned above.
I would love to have the money to try units like the Boulder 2010, Mark Levinson # 32, Cello Audio Palette or even, the ideal match for my amp, Jeff Rowland Coherence II.
I invite anyone to check the prices on these units and start calling your real state broker of choice for a second mortgage.
My point is, simply, there might be other ways of scaping the large equipment expenditures we incurr in this hobby.

Why not reverse the order of the preamps? Why not add a third?

So Tarsando, which tube preamp do you use that you think is so great, and what components make up the rest of your system...? C'mon, now, no need to be shy.

If you want to bypass one of the volume controls, go out of the tape out instead.
