Class D amp with Tube Preamp Combo?

Jaffa_777 No problems here with my class D tubed pre combo. The addition of my tubed preamp was a step in a better direction for my class D amps and system. A warmer presentation indeed.

"Addressing the vibration and the AC should be seriously considered before applying the tube preamp band aid"

Vicdamone i concur big time with your statement above. I'm not using sandbags but i am addressing vibrations also as well as AC and the improvements are very audible for sure.

Any one who bashes any gear is a fool. There is enough equipment out there for all to find enjoyment and as we all hear differently who cares what type of gear blows your skirt up. We are all in this for musical enjoyment i suspect and the way you get it done is your musical happiness business. I"ve had some interesting volleys with some bashers in the past dealing with gear. Hell its your ears and money listen to what pleases you.

Yoby i have gone around the block with different footers for my Nuforce amps. I have found Mapleshades brass footers tighten up imaging and just help produce a sound a like better than the rest. Amazing how just a small part of a system can make a large difference in your systems musical presentation. Thats why you need to experiment so you can hear a difference good or bad.

Ait no doubt about it early Nuforce amps had a big RF problem that is well documented. As someone who has gone the upgrade route from standard ref 9 to SE to V2 i never experienced any RF or other problems except a loose connection on the last upgrade that was handled by Nuforces fine customer service dept very quickly. I dont have a tuner so maybe thats the reason for no RF issues. Nuforce has claimed that the RF problem has been resolved.
Bottom line if you are happy in music now thats all that matters.

Bostonbean thanks for the kind words on my system i've put in alot of time and effort to get the sound i am receiving now which is to my ears is superior. Imaging, sound stage, bottom end and air along with a super 3 D delivery. Along with many different components going in and out of the system the wife and myself have logged many hours enjoying music with it.

Muralman1 i have gone the upgrade route with my amps two offered in the past 3 years. One of the best moves in the right direction was going with a tubed preamp with Siemens cca tubes using my class D amps. I also think that my preference to analog playback with vinyl adds to what my amps and system can deliver. A very easy to sit and listen sound.

Muralman1 aint it just grand when we get our system to sound the way we wanted it to. As you already know it takes a lot of time and effort to get the best from your system, sitting pat wont do. You can get the sound you thought was possible. Glad you have yours sounding the way you hoped.
Enjoy the music.
