Tubes Asylum Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ |
|
Time for upgrading my system with a $3k budget, I've narrowed things down to either a Cary SLP-98L or Emotive Audio, either Erato or Sira. Amps will be AES-SixPacs driving Martin Logan ReQuests panels. Bass duties will be Classe' CA300. I'm looking for musicality, sweet, palpable midrange is very important. What are your thoughts/comparisions between these 2 preamps? Any problems/issues with 'scarcity' of type 27 tubes? Searching this board, microphonic noise and scarcity seem to be the top issues against the type-27 tubes. Thanks in advance._Spike
PS. The Emotive Poetta popped up on AudioGon for around $3k. What's the main difference between this Poetta vs Sira?
