Add Tube preamp to Naim Nait 5si, Harbeth m30.1 combo

Tube pre for a new turntable and vinyl collection does wonderful things.

Hello,

I scratched an itch and bought a pair of used rosewood Harbeth 30.1 for 3500 dollars. If I was looking to try some tube sound, could I look to add a tube Pre-amp to the Naim Nait 5si? Any suggestions on Pre-amps?

Thanks.

you want to bypass the preamp section of the nait5 and use a tube pre instead?   the only preamp i know that works fine with naim amp is ear yoshino tube pre, i have the ear 912 with nap 300dr.  Perhaps you can find a used ear 864....   audio research should work too, but i have not tested.
