Amp/Preamp Asylum Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here. |

Do you have to have that fat, lush, tube character to have the palpable, liquid texture, or can a very neutral amp like an RM-9, ARC, or VTL have neutral character and tight bass, but will be liquid?
Boy what a tangle of subjectiveness.

- Yes, but it's not the harmonics on the continuous tone that gives characteristic timbre. - Timbo in Oz 01:07:17 08/15/12 (0)
