Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Good advice

It's a question of layout as Eli says. Me, I have my 2 active stages in the amp and the DAC right next to it - inches of cable. And the volume control is digital in my Mac Mini software. I really don't want to put any more stuff in the signal path than I literally have to. Two stages, transformer coupled, no cathode bypass caps. All polypropylene caps in the PSU. About as simple as it gets, but the filament supplies and the power supply are very elaborate. Plenty of chokes, glow tubes, shunt regs etc etc. and the solid state stuff in the DAC runs off batteries.
