Describe your preference in a single sentence
Although I don't have enough exposure or experience like some of the more seasoned audiophiles on this site, nonetheless I have gone through 10-12 integrated amps (tubes and SS) in the last 5 years. There are a few sound quality attributes that I have come to realize that I prioritize over everything else. But if I have to describe it in a single sentence, it will be "thou shall never ever sound lean!"
And it's precisely for this reason I keep going back to tubes.
Let's share your top priorities in a single sentence :)
The things that jjss49 and knighttodd mentioned describe what I'm looking for the most.If I were to add anything to their statements, it would probably end up looking like this: "Music reproduction that has great clarity and precision, a rich/full/natural tone, realistic articulation, plus the ability to immerse me into a believable 3-D listening experience - and on top of all that, to do it all at lower volume levels." |
