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

RE: kind of Newbie to HiFi, input on new System /Amp, etc.

I appreciate your passion for good sound. However your post sounds like you've read just a FEW too many "what you should have" articles.

You gotta kick it back a notch and come back to what a stereo really does - makes sweet music!

From the surface I think you need to put a piece of tube gear back into the mix. I recommended the VTA ST-70 amp for several reasons.

1- it is VERY forgiving with cables, wires and even speakers. It blends seamlessly with most gear.

2- the main reason I suggested it is because it can deliver the sound you seem to want. Not a sales pitch!!!!!

3- it will put the the "soul" back in your music

4- you can use a wide variety of output tubes to tailor your sound. I prefer the Gold Lion KT66's.

5 - well in your price range of around $850 with your choice of tubes.
