After decades of using SS amps and preamps, mostly older NAD stuff I purchased a Wright Tube Phono pre and discovered the benefit of a tube signal path. Now I am contemplating a move to Tube Pre/Amp and have a couple questions.
I can get an old Scott I have laying around repaired and try it. I could buy a rebuilt Dynaco 70 for under $800 or I could put together more money and buy something newer like the units that Wright built matching up with my phono pre or some other modern higher end stuff.
I don't like to trade out stuff very often, I've used the NAD 3020 that currently drives the system since I bought it new in the early 80's. So I guess if the older rebuilt stuff is not up to snuff I'd rather just go right to the modern stuff. However if I can get the sound without spending $4K I'd like to do that.
I'm not one to experiment or tweak, just play records. I don't play music very loud anymore and mostly listen to acoustic music like Orchestral, Chamber, or older jazz. I do rock from time to time but not near as much as I used to.
I have a pretty large LP collection and a couple decent sources. VPI Scoutmaster with Benz Micro HO into the Wright WPP200 and a CAL Delta into an older Theta Cobalt DAC. Speakers are JBL 4311B or Klipsch KG 4. I prefer the JBL at the moment.
Opinions?
