Source component?

What is your source? it's it's a typical CD player, you most likely have an OPAMP driving your new amp like it or not!
Now if you are using a turntable with a tube preamp, different story altogether.
And seriously, modern OPAMPs designed for audio are practically transparent with noise floors below any source material you can find.
Tubes are fun but let's not discount our vast technology advances since then. But then there are plenty of people here who like to implement tube I/V stages in their CD players and outboard DACs. So if you really hate OPAMPs, you can still have tubes with your CDs!
