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

RE: A big reason why electronics sound better is ....

A lot of the capacitor issues you mention are the very same reason why tube gear gets so much attention. Serious caps in even an average tube stereo and it really would be hard for a solid state unit to match.

A lot of newer SS gear uses caps that are, SMD, standard electronic production types or even the dreaded nonpolar electrolytic cap.

Bottom line: good parts SHOULD make for good sound. But yes design can mess things up at times too.
