@acdvd I hear you. My tube preamp does not color the sound. I compare it back and forth as a hybrid addition to my solid state integrated -- in other words, I listen with tube preamp/solid state amp only vs. solid state integrated only. It is a rich sound but it is not colored or overly saturated in any way. It is not at all clinical. My solid state integrated is a bit clinical, in comparison. Some like that. Not me. Just my experience.
Integrated amp recommendations
I have YG Carmel 1 speakers. I am after either:
- an all in one integrated including DAC and streamer. I was thinking
- Bel Canto e1x .
- the Naim uniti Nova
- a Luxman combined with a streamer/dac/server all in one unit
- something else around a similar price point
I prefer quite a rich sound, with sweet highs
your thoughts appreciated.
