Going Tubing

@bimmerlover Do note:

Tubes in a Audio System are not a device one can Power On and forget about.

My Valve EE, has always encouraged the discipline for not leaving the Audio System unattended for long periods of time.

The Idea being one stays within the audio set up room for the bulk of the Power On time and even has a revisit not too long after Power Off.

Having said that I have a all Valve Power Amp's in the System for over 30 Years and today the system is inclusive of Valve Phon' and DAC.

I am vigilant when it comes to being present when the system is on. It is this same requirement that put my wife off using the audio system, even though she owns 50%+ of the Albums.  

Thanks again for all insights.

The Schiit Freya + certainly sounds interesting, and has been recommended by at least a couple of people in this thread.

What is this knowledgeable group’s opinion of the PrimaLuna Dialogue Premiere and the PrimaLuna Evo 300 preamps?

+1 LTA Microzotl. I bought a used MZ2 and couldn't be happier. I was lucky in getting one of the last ones made, and the circuit board looks more like the MZ3. It's just a beautiful open sound, amplified by a SS amp. It's my first foray into tube home audio and maybe my last. I don't know what more I could want than this sound. 

Tubes???,,,With the hassle of tubes, the expense,the coloration of sound,maintenance ,,on and on...add the fact that Solid state gear has equaled if not surpassed tube gear in about everything sonically..why consider the move?
