Selling off Tubes for Solid State, A Cooler Love Story?

@j-wall , the Mits in/out AC/Htr sounds like the purchase you ought to have made...but Sunday quarterbacking is too easy to default to. ;)

All wonderful, well-intentioned comments and recommendations from the gallery, but you've the opportunity to dip toes into the many variations now beckoning.

Tube/SS hybrids, all SS all the time, full-tilt Ds', or even 'mixed-media' combinations of both.  The audio whirl'd is again your oyster to shuck about with. *G*

Used to keep the budget from implosion, new when you're ready to commit.

Have fun listening self into giddyness, J

'Bots don't type like this...

@oddiofyl  Can't agree with you more!

Getting cold up here in Boston....  think its time to swap out the EL34 s for some KT88 to keep toasty.....

I had a PL HP integrated and other tube amps.  I now have a Bob Carver Crimson 275.  To me, it bests the PL line, is less expensive, and runs super cool.  I'm in Chicagoland so heat in the winter is welcome, but in my third floor listening room I want none of it in the hot summers.  That problem is entirely gone.  

I like PL as a product.  I think that it's missing some mojo though.  Just my two cents.  

Be careful with that SS adventure.  While I agree with the sage JJSS (super dude), your subjective enjoyment is all that matters.   

Would you consider headphones for 3 months tiny amp even if tubed... And get some planar headphones...
