@yaluaka, I'm with you. I love a big sugary sweet tube sound. My problem is I also like lots of power. I have an AUDIOPHONICS LPA-S500NC class d amp and a Conrad Johnson PV10 preamp with early 60's Mullard 12AU7 Blackburn NOS. Those are powering Kef LS50 speakers. I get all that tubey goodness but can also push quite a bit of sound. Not sure why more people don't go solid state or class D power with a tube pre.
