Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

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

RE: I'm not at all sorry

"Oh, I've heard how good tubes can sound, and my VK-60's made some pretty sweet music"

Ah, so they didn't suck!! Just sucked a lot of power...like I said, I can believe that. But if you go with Class A SS amps they are also amps that "sucks".

"with less distortion, and it will always sound exactly the same and not fail for probably 20 years"

What does that mean "with less distortion"?? Did you find the BATs to sound distorted?? You just said above that they made some pretty sweet music. If you mean on an oscilloscope I would ask you how is that relevant to your listening experience?? Does it give you a security blanket to know that you have only .001% THD even if it doesn't sound as good (despite what you tell yourself?) Parts age in SS amps to and they for sure change sound over time...as to failure...I have seen just as many dead SS amps as tube amps and the SS amps are harder to repair.

Your post is a model of self-contradiction and self-deception.
