Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

I agree and....

I would love to try a setup like the one you're mentioning. But it took 30+ years to find my little corner of audio nirvana. I just can't see starting over again.

I do agree that ultra low distortion SHOULD have proper instrument timber. If a clarinet has timber, then at 0.0000x% distortion that clarinet should sound like it's being played in the room with you. Recording engineering issues aside.

My Sherwood may be more pleasing than accurate. But it's like any other art form. If you like a Claude Monet over the Dutch masters - enjoy!

Even though I like the full bodied sound of a Sherwood, I do rotate a Marantz SS amp with 0.006% distortion in the system. I love hearing things from a different point of view. I'll enjoy anything that sounds good regardless if it's tube, SS, SET, low, high distortion, what ever. Good is good!!!
