record out on integrated amp

If you have a problem that's so extreme where you would actually consider doing what you're talking about, I say just fix the problem and be done with it. There's almost no chance that you'll be happy with the result. Tubes don't always fix problems like people think they do.

The most I would do, in your case, is to try an actual tube buffer, because that's what you're asking for. Musical Fidelity makes them. If a product like that doesn't work, you need to try something else.

want the best sound? eliminate all ss, and go tubes all the way. or, keep ss sound and try to be satisfied with it. half way will just keep you trying more things that will not help in the long run.

Nothing like keeping an open mind.

Mofojo hi, reading your opening post to use it this way, all you are doing is using it as a mulitple source switch box. Many can be got for under $50 on ebay.
If it has a phono stage then yes you will be listening to a tube or two via the tape output.

Thanks for the responses.
I am satisfied with my system but always wanting to try something different. I switch back and forth between my Cayin A100T integrated with KT120s and my Cayin 265ai class a integrated. I think both sound very good but different. I actually thought about ordering a tube buffer but thought this may be a way to kinda try it out before the purchase. Basically looking to meld some tube goodness on vocals and acoustic music with the smack across the face dynamics on heavy rock with the SS. Overall on most music I would have to say I enjoy the tube amp more. Anyone ever try the Yaqin tube buffers they are selling on Amazon or the Decware buffers that are a little more expensive.
