Has anybody tried/uses a SS pre with a Tube power?
Why the question?
I accidentally happened to try this combo yesterday night while I was preparing to give away my first amp - Sansui AU317 to another music enthusiast.
The amp wasn't being used for quie sometime and I intended to do a pre-check. My current set up is an all tube pre-power combo (its been about 2 weeks with it).
Being the lazy that I am, I unhooked the tube pre and introduced the Sansui as a pre into the chain.
What it did...
From my short observation time I noticed there was lot more Bass right from lower listening level with a sense of being tighter. There was boominess in the bass as I do not have room acoustics treatment.
Though a marginal difference in the mid range but the overall presentation seem to have a lot of energy.
Any thoughts/opinions to this combo?
