Ok! The interesting part of this is the ability to completely change the overall sound of a system....by just changing tubes. That is pretty cool I think. Is this a matter of using the same 'type' of tube but made by a different manufacturer or actually using different 'types' of tubes altogether? The latter seems kinda strange in that it would be the equivalent of throwing in a JFET where a MOSFET was normally used....you can't just do that ;) things have to be changed to accomodate the new type of part.Another thing...if I'm simply wanting to get the 'sound' of the tubes, should I maybe consider a preamp instead? Wouldn't the tube sound simply be passed through the SS amp? If so, would it be the case that a preamp would be less expensive overall seeing that it is a lower power device? ala Bottlehead Foreplay for $149! btw, that is a really nice looking piece of equipment!
...doncha just love newbies :)
I really appreciate the repsonses guys!
