Too many tubed components in the system?


As a newbie to the tube side of audio, is there such a thing as too many tubed components in the audio signal path?

I have an Audio Aero CDP that has a tubed output stage, have just bought a tube amp (VTL ST-150) and am considering either a tube active linestage or passive linestage.

* Will having an all-tubed component audio chain sound too tubey? Does the concept of "too much of a good thing" apply to tubed reproduced music?
* If the answer above is 'Yes' then is there a max. number of tubed components that one should have in their system and if so then what should they be? (e.g. CDP+preamp vs CDP+amp vs preamp+amp)

Thanks for your insights.

Everything in my system is tube, except for the DVD player. I just counted 114 and NO, not too many.
NO, You can add the BAT tube cd or ARC CD3 and have a magical system. An SME 20 or Linn LP12, or VPI TNT would be my choice for you to get spinning!
Every added tubed component is one fewer SS component. How can that be bad?
Hey Albert,
Have you considered tubes for your Turntable Motor Controller? That could get you to 120.
