Hello again Riveraranch,
Presently, I have a Classe pre amp (solid state) that has MC and MM inputs and was voted one of the best by The Absolute Sound some years ago. I use that with my Threshold power amp which makes for some great sounds. However, I wanted to see what tubes would sound like so purchased the Decware tube pre amp. I am now looking for a tube phono pre amp to mate with my Decware. These in term will drive my Threshold power amp and then my Magnapan speakers. Thanks again for your great comments.
