I reckon that a tube amp can tone down the brightness of a system. But, sometimes it can sound too warm to some ppl that eventually the timing can be slowed down. This may not be suitable to some music genre like rock & pop songs.
IMO, if your music preference is towards modern type then tube might not be suitable. But then again, others have pair it with a good power amp to great effect.

QUOTE(htkaki @ Jan 14 2011, 10:58 PM) I am looking for a good preamp too. This is the only missing link now. Once I found one, then will order a good pair of XLR cables BTW, you have to be choosy in the pre-amp that comes with XLR connectivity. Am I right to say both XLR & Din cables are much better than most expensive RCA cables?

QUOTE(car_o_scope @ Jan 14 2011, 11:55 PM) Mostly yeah.. Many pre-amps come with Balanced XLR inputs and outputs. Or should I say, when you reach certain level, you will find all the gears that you are hunting have the Balanced XLR. DIN is mainly for Naims. But I think now they also use RCA but not XLR. Old Naims have the DIN only. Bro, care to share what do they mean by XLR "Balance Output"? Does it mean the sound to Left & Right is more balanced?
