Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Re: and

Yes, I did notice that. That's one of the reason's I chimed in. Though I have no experience with the Jolida tube bybrids, the reviews I've read indicate their all-tube integrated may be a better choice. It certainly is an excellent choice in my experience! That is not to say a hybrid approach is a poor choice. I love my ARC LS-2B pre-amp in my work system. Now there is an excellent application of hybrid design.

I used to have a smaller set of maggies that I drove with the B&K and was never really satisfied with the sound, so I can relate to the SS + electrostatic combination the poster is referring to (though, as I pointed out in my earlier post, I can only speculate as his components, listening room and listening tastes are likely quite different than mine). I've heard a set of Martin Logan electrostatics bi-amped with all SS gear (Krell), and the sound was utterly amazing. That was the first time I knew what it meant to actually have the hair on the back of your neck stand up. I think the synergy between individual components is part of the illusive magic we all seek here. Again, I don't think there are any clear-cut answers. It is, in large part, an individual thing, and the best we can do is listen ourselves, and learn from what others have to say taking the latter with a grain of salt.

Best,

Marco
