Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ?

@inna There are many old time Audiogon members who no longer participate. And for good reasons. They all had great systems and amplification was never SS, and some of those people could afford anything.

Actually, one old time a’gon member did post a few minutes before you. His ref system happens to be SS amplified.

I am another A’gon old timer -- and my ref system amplification is SS.

This said, we may easily be exceptions to the rule...

I for one love tube gear as well --the CAT gear mentioned above are favourites-- and I have an old tube-based CAT pre (not in the system).

If we want to be drunk or acoustically transported we are not in the obligation to impose our own alcool ingestion method or our own tubes or S.S. system ... All is good for each different metabolism and all may be good for each own system synergy and acoustic room ...

To be drunk, i prefer champagne to everything else or whisky over beer ...

In audio acoustics rules not so much the gear choices , if the gear choices for sure is very good to begin with ...

I am drunk with cheap beer by the way and i live happy with a low cost system acoustically well implemented ...

I dont feel frustrated because frustration cannot be there when knowledge rule and drive instead of obsession ...

Feel free to mail me a box of champagne bottles ...😊 Instead of a tube amplifier pay me the BACCH filters box system ...And i will call it my reference system drinking to your health best wishes ...Promise...Cross on my heart ....

If not, i will stay happy with my beer and low cost system  ...Creativity make us happy not money ...

Good to know...

i would say evaluating the level of a long term audiogon poster / lurker / past poster by reading what they have in the system and have to say is a fools errand…. i typically hear 2-4 different systems a month…

Get out more…..

BTW my reference amp is a hybrid with a VERY unfair advantage… it was purpose built by the speaker designer….

This changes everything! A reference system not based on 100 year old technology? Who would have that? The SS makers better get their act together!
