In Reply to: In what way do you define "quietest"? ... posted by andyr on April 22, 2012 at 04:14:47:
The tube amp I'm talking about is the amp I use in my headphone system. And with headphones, you really notice it if your gear does not provide truly silent backdrops. For that reason alone, it would probably make a great preamp. So, I would say that my DNA Sonett tube headphone amp is the "quietest" amp I've ever heard (not heard?) in any loudspeaker or headphone system, taking normal listening distances into account. And when I say "quiet", I mean it in both the passive (absence of noise/interference) and the active (helping dynamic contrast) sense.
