tube amps 101


Category: Amplifiers

I have a bryston 4bsst and bp25, sonic frontiers sfcd-1, green mountain europas. I was contemplating moving into tube amp -- something a little less bright -- anything that is decent for about $2K or is this wishful thinking? Or should I be thinking of replacing another component?

Thanks for the advice...

I'm fairly new to this hobby but I would suggest trying a good quality tube pre-amp that would mate well with your bryston. I tried this and found that it took some glare and brightness off without diminishing the controlled bass that I was used to. You could also try a tubed cdp like the Jolida and see if that takes away some of the digital brightness (and still have a grand left to experiment with some tubes and upgrade the cord on it).
Just some thoughts, as I've moved into tubes recently.
