Yes ultimately having a transformer coupled pre-amp or even an L2 Pre-amp will be better but the nice thing is you can get started with the L4 in integrated fashion and later if and when you buy a preamp you can easily convert your L4 EL34i over to the Power amp version -just bypass the 12au7 pre-amp stage board on the EL34 and order a new Power amp faceplate from us with no holes for volume or selector - Remember the EL34 integrated version does have a tube pre-amp stage - it would have been easy to have a solid state gain stage prior but we wanted to make it as sonically excellent as possible! We have only had the integrated version for about 1 year now so we used to only sell power amp versions!
