I am elated to have found this Forum. I am a long standing member of the Klipsch Forum and thought I'd give this a try here.
I run my Klipsch JUBILEEs in 2-Channel mode with a QUAD array (and, also 5.1 Dvd-Audio Surround mode ) .
For Surround Processing, I use the Marantxz AV-7703 always in ''Direct Audio' mode.
The DAC in the Marantz Processor does well for 2-channel listening, using my HDMI from Pioneer Elite UDP-LX500 player.
But I am seeking a separate 2-Channel dedicated TUBE PreAmp for ANALOG only.
Thus my reason/question I have for you all here :
...I need to be schooled on what Tube PreAmp I should consider; something that WILL make a vast improvement to my situation.
I know a Schiit Freya+ ($900) might be a start, to just demo and get a 'flavor of' what a Tube Pre might do,
...but I am soley interested in what you ALL have to say.
Obviously , you can recommend a $5000+ preAmp, ... but I am NOT willing to go THAT FAR in investing.
SO , what do you all have to say about Tube Pre Amplifiers for a discrete 2-Channel Listening experience, under $3200 range ?
Pic attached are of my Klipsch Jubilee 5.1 front stage / my Nelson Pass FIRST WATT Mono Blocks for K-402 Horns/ Carver Pro ZR1600 Mono Blocks for bass Cabinets / Xilica XP-4080 DSP's for time alignment+PEQ tuning...
Thank You all in advance for your recommendations on what TO get -or- even what NOT to waste my time on.
