How big of a difference do amps make?


There are probably plenty of threads on this subject so dont be frustrated...im looking for those who went from ss to tube amps.
Current system:
Thor TA-1000
Merlin TSM-MMM
H/K Citation 16
cheap cdp
Im looking to upgrade amps to Thor 30's with maybe Marantz 8004 cdp.
Just curious what to expect... Thanks Jayson

I can't recall how often I've said this. Once you get used to the attributes of all your other gear, guess what you then start listening to, again? Your amp. Which will always be the most identifiable piece of gear in your system. You will hear through every other piece very quickly.
Newbee, sure, but first things first. It's just the way it is. I wonder how many amp designers would disagree.
