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

RE: For which technology?

In some cases tubes work well, but Im so used to the quick attacks, snap, and kick of a high current solid state amp, that I keep coming back to it. Im currently in talks with a seller to possibly buy his YBA 2 HC amp at a later time frame, since money is tight right at this time. I only went to the audition today at HiFi Center to see if Bryston was worth getting. Apparently not. Bryston is a very clean sounding amp that does voice presentation very well, but the depth and space to the music is missing. I have also heard a Sumo 9 Plus at one time, and almost bought it. I should have. I didn't like it because it was weak on the bass side of things. And I don't think it had the quickness of sound that I like. So YBA might be my solution. Plus its a lot cheaper (in used condition) then spending 5 grand on a new amp.
