Solid state amp/Tube Preamp. Possible?


Hi everyone. I have a Classe CA300 power amp & I'm thinking of getting a BAT tube preamp w/phone pre. A BAT VK-3i to be exact. My speakers are B&W 802's with a Linn Wakonda Pre at present with a Sota table. The Linn has a on board phone pre but I run my table through a Musical Fidelity X-LPS ver 3 phono pre. I'm thinking of replacing the Linn & X-LPS with the BAT VK-3i. I know BAT's reputation is outstanding just worried about the tube pre matched with a solid state amp. Any ideas or experience with this type of set up would be appreciated.

Cheers Deanna

I am using a tubed McIntosh MC2300 pre with McIntosh MC 501 solid state monoblocks. They are wonderful matches!

just like Missioncoonery, I too ran with SS amps and tube preamps for a long time and never gave thought to impedence mismatching...it always sounded great...the tubes added that extra warmth, I highly recommend the combination but in the end, its all about system syngergy.
