New Member And few questions on First Tube Amp.
Little about me.I am 67 and more into cars /cycles but enjoy music during winter months.
I have Tinnitus very bad and so I can not play music much over 70 db with high pitch horns ect.
But I have Marantz SR 8002 and had until last week Mirage M-5's. 28 yrs and did not realize how deteriorated
they become until someone sold a pair of Definitive Techogoly BP 8080ST and I could not beleive what I was missing
on sound.. All along thought it was my hearing..So now that I can hear music separation along with my ringing
it is a joy to hear more than I thought I would ever hear again.
So with that I want to just see if a tube amp will allow me to hear music flow from the speakers as others describe.
So not knowing anything I have a dealer not to far selling Prima Luna tubes and my question is I see tube amp and pre tube amp.. To try a tube amp can you run from just one of these components ??
Does Prima Luna have a all in one unit if I need a amp and pre amp ???
I do not mind spending few thousand, but not sure how long my hearing will last and so just want to
purchase low end just to see if I can hear a difference of tube vs solid state...thank you Joe

Thank You for your information..I have hope for cure but not in my time.. I right now have to use sleep phones plugged into computer to make the freq I have to allow me to sleep at night. I could sleep for 35 years with it then 2 years ago mine increased 2x what I had. Oh my..but things could be worse.. thank You again Joe |
harleyujoe- Thankfully, we have music as temporary escape from our misunderstood ailment. https://www.ata.org/research-toward-cure/clinical-trials |
