Anyone know which of the Omega designs sounds best with SS? I have a NAD amp and will eventually switch to tubes in steps. My fisrt step will be to get one of those Mapletree preamps that everyone likes so much.-ap

Hi pacifico,

Many thanks for your post.

I really feel the new M5 would be the right choice. It mates up extremely well with SS amps and I have a NAD integrated and the synergy is great. I did design them with SS in mind and have tried numerous amps with them. The digital amps are excellent too.

With tube amps I would go with higher power. Not recommended for 2A3s. 300B and up would be good. I like PP EL-84 and EL-34s with them.

Thanks gain,
Louis

Louis,

Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate it and look forward to checking out the M5s for a potential purchase in the spring. It's really not so far off!!!
