Tried tubes and LOVED it, now what?


Hi all, I had Solid state all my life until I bought a used integrated tubes amp Cayin a88-T for $1,000 and love it to death, but after few years, now what? I’m Thinking of movng up the chain but not sure where to go. Most of my speakers are bookshelf and small floorstandings. Thanks

As usual a thoughtful and informative post from trelja. I have to agree with him in particular regarding Jadis (really good quality output transformers)  amplifiers. They are wonderful sounding music reproducing instruments. AirTight is no doubt a fine choice as well.

If keeping the current amplifier you can begin with upgrading to high quality coupling capacitors such as Duelund CAST or Jupiter copper foil. This level of capacitors do make a difference.
