@rocray I spotted that Aric Unlimited last night and am interested. But am curious if having the variable output will it mate with the Peachtree. I assume that is the reason for the variable output, compatible with more equipment correct? My goal ...

The preamp is an option I had not considered but I can run the Peachtree in power amp mode as well as preamp. Maybe I would be better served looking into tube preamps. This just seems to make more sense the more I think about it.

@oldhvymec He doesn't want to ship the Quicksilvers I contacted him.

@hilde45 I was considering the Orchid or possibly the Black Ice Glass FX. The used Quicksilvers are local pick up only so a no go. I just wasn't sure how much of the tube effect would come thru with just a tube or two. Nice thing there is I can ge...

@rickallen81 that's my plan I am just trying to figure out the best way to get the best taste. So far I have gotten some good ideas of things to look into. I have never owned any type of tube component so its all new. I don't know anyone who dose ...

@scchengmus That was an option I was considering also. everything I read and watch is very positive. It seems as thought a lot of the internals are the same brands and models of reputable high end brands. What is your experience with it.

@artemus_5  I actually really like the idea of the st120 kit. I enjoy stuff like that. I used to rebuild carburetors years ago as a side gig. I might actually buy one just to build for fun. I have it in the cart, just got home from work and the sc...

@lowrider57 As miller carbon stated its all compromise! I just need to decide on what compromise I want to take. Right now my simple mind tells me with what have and am hearing here. I can buy different speakers and a tube amp. Or I can buy a much...

@oldhvymec A tube buffer is what I originally wanted to try. I just haven't had much luck finding options. Black ice foz ss-x was all I could find which sounded like a good option but I don't really need the bass control, not a deal breaker though...

@lowrider57 Thank you as I obviously missed these while surfing the classifieds. I messaged the member that has them listed waiting for response. Is there anything I should be aware of with these amps, questions I need to make sure and ask? Any ce...

@fuzztone Exactly! I mean my intention isn't to just throw my money away but if I can make a minimal investment to get my toes wet, great. I don't mean I have throw away cash. I have been seeing a few Chinese amp options that look like a guy could...

@willgolf Raven could be an end point I like everything I have seen on them. Believe me I do understand I have a low budget for an integrated or even amplifier for that matter. I could use the nova as a pre so I don't have to have an integrated. I...
