Affordable SS that sound like Tubes
I was a 100% vinyl guy for many years. Due to maintenance cost and aggravation I switched to DSD after a lot of research and I have no regrets.
I am looking for suggestions on affordable SS that sounds as good as Tubes.
Here's the rub. My Mid Monos were less than $2,000 brand new and they sound incredible. As does my Pre that costed me less than $1,000.
Integrated suggestions are welcomed.
And I would like to hear from people that had fine tube equipment and switched to fine SS equipment.
And please, no mention of "Tubes have Higher Distortion." LOL

Is this one of your started threads? https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/best-software-to-rip-cds-to-mac-mini Best software to rip CDs to Mac (Mini)""Years ago I used iTunes to rip CDs to my Mac Mini in AIFF format. What’s the latest and the greatest for this? Thanks!"""
LOL😂😂🤣🤣🤣 Yeah CD's sounds awesome🤣🤣🤣😅 |
Now, I know what you guys are thinking, but in defense of @Audphile1 , if he is listening to CD’s, then yes, absolutely, PSAudios Bridge will sound fantastic and streaming will be the "best", but scrap the bridge and play DSD through Audirvana, bypassing Mac processing through a good USB and the sound will shock even the learned ears of Audiphile1. |
I think Exclusive audio (Japan) AMP-5521 int amp sounds as good as a tube amp. Age (Lianne La Havas), Live recording https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgNVBSFHKgA Wipe out (Surfaris); Drum by Sina Alex/Wavetouch |
I may have made an assumption about the PS Audio network card based on how good the one in my Bricasti M3 is. In any case, given your attitude, thick headedness and sarcasm that prevent you from being receptive to a different perspective and ideas other than what you have convinced yourself of, I’m over and out. Enjoy the journey. |
