“Affordable” is insufficient. What’s your budget?
Affordable SS that sound like Tubes
I was a 100% vinyl guy for many years. Due to maintenance cost and aggravation I switched to DSD after a lot of research and I have no regrets.
I am looking for suggestions on affordable SS that sounds as good as Tubes.
Here's the rub. My Mid Monos were less than $2,000 brand new and they sound incredible. As does my Pre that costed me less than $1,000.
Integrated suggestions are welcomed.
And I would like to hear from people that had fine tube equipment and switched to fine SS equipment.
And please, no mention of "Tubes have Higher Distortion." LOL

@vonhelmholtz As the OP mentioned he has no intention of replacing his prized tube electronics. This is more of a rhetorical question to make us all spin our wheels for no reason whatsoever. He just wants to stroke his own ego and make the point that his QS electronics offer very good value for the price and likely can’t be beat by SS at a similar price. That’s it. This is a fool’s errand prompted by a guy who’s admittedly not looking for a real answer and just looking for an ego rush, so don’t waste your time any further because it’s not worth it. What he should be focusing on rather than wasting our time here is replacing his ancient Mac Mini with a decent streamer from this decade. |
@vonhelmholtz No, I think you have a perfect understanding of the situation. |
