Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

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

Will agree, and disagree - how's that for a strong standpoint?

For disagreement? I'd say there ARE tube designs today that are MEANT to have every quality Disbeliever disdains.

Me? I have one system using tube amps that are 20+ years old. They have an almost silent background, have incredible dynamics, and some pretty killer bass (with my Gallo Nucleus Reference 3s).

Also have a system at home using whatever solid state thingy my wife had, driving a pair of B&W 805 Matrix. It does OK, but the noise floor is higher than with my tube setup, and the 805s REALLY shine with my tube amps (VTL Deluxe 120 monoblocs).

Previously? Had a GREAT SS system with B&W 805 Nautilus driven by an Electrocompaniet integrated & a sub. That did EVERYTHING well.
