As a SS guy thinking of getting into tubes, it made me wonder. Are there any audiophiles out there that went from tubes back to SS? I hear a lot about people going to tubes and never going back---but do some people say, nah...back to solid state. Just curious.
Went from SS to tubes. Loved the sound, but couldn't get past the tube noise. I spent way too much money trying to find a quiet tube. Never found one. Went back to SS and I don't miss the hiss.
From my experience, all of the 6SN7 tubes I've tried had hiss. Was using a Modwright LS-100 preamp. I wouldn't let my experience steer you from trying tubes. Tube gear has a sound all it's own and will draw you in. Listen for yourself. You may just love what you're hearing so much that you never even hear it if it's even there.
