Hi, Has anybody use musical fidelity x10d tube buffer in the amplification systems? How does it really improving the sound ? Your info, opinions is highly appreciated and thanks in advance
One purpose of this tube buffer is to add an extra feedback. When there's a lack of such it will definitely make responce more flat and linear. Certainly it will decrease distortions as well.
Had one when it was first introduced years ago. Did some very nice things with my Marantz 67se but with one major flaw: it actually slowed down the pace of the music. The people at Stereophile I believe also came to the same conclusion.
I have one with a good power supply. I adds warmth and makes the mids more lush. If you like nice crisp,focused sounding music forget getting one. If you like warm and lush and with descent detail then you may love it. I just got mine w/some mullards. Im still undecided if its for me. NOS tubes are a must and get rid of the wall-wart and get a real power supply if you get one. e-mail me and I'll point you to a good but cheap power supply.
