I would like to pair this preamp with a solid-state amp. I am hoping it would help to warm things up some. How do you think the Foreplay III will affect the sound?


Thanks

Which solid state amp do you plan to use and which speakers does it drive?

You are taking a very dangerous step, sir. I built and hooked up the original $99 Foreplay to my solid state rig and have been tube DIY addicted since! Builds now include a set of Paraglow Monoblocks, Seduction, Eros, Stereomour II, and a pair of hand-built Audio Note E's, including the cabinets and I have (had, I guess) no woodworking experience.  You've been warned...  8)
