Let's forget about being politically correct


I thought this would catch the attention of some of you. I have for the past 10 years used a SS amp and tube preamp. This was the prevailing wisdom with alot of audiophiles in the 90's and even today. I am look for a change in my amp/preamp, who out there is using a tube amp with a ss pre? How does it sound? What combinations have you tried?

Unsound: I think that 6chac was trying to say that there really are no answers, only more questions to be asked. How one asks or responds to those questions will depend on their perspective : ) Sean

sean, you just can't get enough of thi can you?:] i follow your posts with great interest, your writing is superior to much of the drivel i read in stereophile and tas and more important you do not seem to take yourself to seriously as do many on this thread. keep on keeping on. by the by, have you noticed tha not many posters mention the music they listen to in order to give us an idea hove how they arrived at their opinions on all things audio. i think the equipment is just a means to the end unless your a techie who listens to gear.
There seem to be a few individuals on this forum that just go way off on tangents and then hammer their keyboards defending their viewpoint. While there is some indirect connectivity to these posts and, the writings are for the most part beautifully composed and written, they just veer much too far from the immediate topics and questions at hand. This is a result of not have an editor to keep the dialog on track and to the point. These guys need to make a concerted effort to concentrate and focus their talents at reviewing equipment or issues at hand and not expounding philosophical viewpoints. Of course the subject line of this thread probably did not help in starting things off.
