Anybody use tubes in their ht system?


I have tubes in my preamp, seems to sound more tuney and vibrant.

Avr tubes are not done. Maybe they should?

I remember only one company that made a tube based HT preamp/processor.  I can't remember the exact model and google doesn't show any results, but I'm pretty sure it was made by Audio Design Associates (ADA).  I remember seeing pictures of it in magazine ads as well as website.  This was in the early 2000's (probably around 2001-2005).  I don't remember anyone actually having it and I have no idea if they sold any at all.  The product picture showed about 5-6 tubes lit up inside, probably 12ax7 tubes for audio stage.

Coincidentally, ADA was probably the earliest implementation of Trinnov room correction system.  They don't exist anymore, lol.
