Wall Outlet Oyaide, Furutek, Wattgate, and others

I've had lots of tube gear over the years. I am kind of surprised in that most of my gear is now SS. I only have 2 pieces of tube gear currently. I have a VAC amp in my 2nd system and an Aesthetix preamp in my main system. But in my main system, my CD player has a volume control. I go back and forth. Sometimes I prefer the preamp, and other times I like just the CD player. It really depends on the recording. If I had to choose just 1 way, I would leave the preamp in the system.

@ Zd542, Thats funny you mentioned solid state,In the late 90s, solid state was far and away better than tube equipment, then tube equipment got alot better, everyone wanted tube equipment, now in the last two years, solid state has come full circle again, that is what I am considering in the next two years, going all solid state, the vincent sounds great, however, I have been keeping up with a digital thread about red-book dacs, The Imperical Audio ODSE has sparked interest, I bet it is a fine sounding machine, and for the asking price, It has beaten out much more exspensive Dacs in matt's shoot out, including tube dacs!, right now I plan on doing tweeks like these Furutech GTX-D Gold recepticles and Etc....

Hi Chahed, which model Hubbell HBL 5362 did you get?, the model with isolated ground, or without?, you are one of the few that has echoed these findings, years ago, I owned Hubbells best recepticles, I cannot remember the model, just hospital grade, they sounded great to me too, I still have not made my purchase yet, I have been sold on to buy the furutech GTX-gold recepticles, I have had many reputible dealers and audiophiles alike swear they are the best money can buy for sound?, do you have exsperience with the Furutech GTX Rhodium or Gold recepticles?, cheers.
