Well, yes, technically I am still a tube virgin. As soon as my wife (she's looking at paint chips. Glory be, this is the greatest thing that has ever happened in the way of WAF/speakers) decides on the color, I am going ahead ordering a pair of Definition 1.5s from Zu Cable. The amp I am going with is an Audion Sterling with some very serious vintage tubes. One being a pair of British Golden Lion KT88s. The audiophool I am purchasing the amp from (as soon as I can sell my Passion) has used his Sterling with the Definitions, as well. Loved it. It's a good start for me.... a journey I am very excited about. I will keep you posted. peace and Happy New Year to you all. warren
Tube virgin no more
I never thought it would happen. But yes indeed, I'm moving over to the other side. At least I'm making a foray into tube land. Selling my YBA Passion and moving to a tube integrated. This all started with a speaker change due to a new house, new listening space, and poor speaker synergy, plus a huge WAF. Very huge on the WAF. Anyway, I'm purchasing super efficient speakers that lend to tubes. New amp, new speakers, and soon, a new front end. Next thing you know I'll be doing LPs. That's not going to happen. Hey, I did think that once; with tubes. I'm excited about the journey. Anyone interested in a great SS amp? peace, warren
