>>ss units are not in the same leauge as tube players. Thats a fact.<<

Really? Esoteric, EMM, and Wadia will handily spank any Cayin and/or Consonance players. Tubes don't guarantee high performance. That is a fact.
You forgot the latest DCS gear too! ;)

I agree, I have yet to find a tubes source unit that has the bass, dynamics and HF extension to my personal likings.

I think alot of old school thinking is still in play with some audiophiles about tubes. The latest digital gear is much better than ever before due to latest chips and digital servo and transport technologies. Have a good day!

Under 300.00-Rotel 970
