In Reply to: My problem with Musical Fidelity's "Tube Buffer" posted by nightdoggy on March 16, 2007 at 17:27:21:
But I don't have a $30K system either!Mine worked very well, once I DIYed a good power supply. Haven't tweaked it otherwise from the original, except to DIY tube dampers. But the tubes are NOT the original 6922s either, they're Teslas, one of 3 non-original sets that I bought with this unit used.
It sits between my CDP and my amp, now between the CDP and the outboard DAC.
FWIW, I have NOT experienced the claimed HF rolloff nor bass reduction of any kind. It does make for a smoother midrange and it does NOT add any appreciable gain. So all this claimed detrimental stuff is not in my experience in my modest rig.
Now I will say that I tried removing it with my new DAC and did not like the sound that resulted. It was thin and not more detailed in any way than with the X10d in place. So back it went.
I'm satisfied for now. Is it an impedance matcher? Probably. Whatever else it does, it's an improvement and not one that's merely euphonius, however those seeking to increase their detail would not find this unit adds anything at all in that regard. Neither does it seem to detract anything IME.
