In Reply to: Do you prefer the "background silence" of SS/Digital, or the that of Tubes/Analog? posted by genungo on April 21, 2012 at 09:34:22:
having had in the past, both a tube head amp and a tube phono stage, I prefer the complete absence of noise which my battery-powered, JFET-based components give.
This, however, is considerang 'glass' vs. 'sand' in the analogue space ... I make no comment about digital ss vs analogue ss. :-))

Andy
