Also today audio flows through integrated chips with incredibly small parts, plugins run audio through digital hoola hoops everyday all the time on every piece of music recorded with modern equipment. Chips are the best way to handle audio and the most dependable, why because all you have to do is be careful of the quality of the power supply the chips will always act the same. In the future sound systems will come in a chip and the silly discussions abut audio cables will filially stop.

to the OP a Pass , Belles or Ayre SS preamp would be on my short list IF i was in your anti tube position….. i do get it….hand off an easy to use system to surviving spouse ( my plan is the NAIM Uniti Atom, which she loves )…. You are in very good hands w Nelson…. by the way a multi layer, heavy curved trace board is WAY better than point to point….unless you like…..noise…. |
how will the said chip be powered? Solar? Batteries ? A miniature built in nuclear reactor to eliminate the need for a power cord. Will that chip also reproduce music and will render speakers obsolete, thus also eliminating speaker cables? Just trying to envision such a device…and my imagination is failing me…help me out here… |
