Marty, FWIW I gave up my tube amp and went with the TAD Hibachis beefed up version. Sonics are similar to the TADs tube amps but, a bit more up front and quicker.I have a tube CD and preamp so that may contribute to the tube sound that I am hearing. For the type of music that I listen to( Classic rock) and my equipment (Vandy 2cesigs, tad150, eastern electric CD), it appears to be a better match. Makes the Vandys really rock. Haven't seen a review on this amp but, I will probably write one soon.
tube amps sounding like solid state and vv
Hi folks, there are manufacturers who make tube (pre)amps that sound like solid state. There are also manufacturers who make solid state (pre)amps that sound like tubes. My question is: why would a tube amp manufacturer make tube amps that sound like solid state? I mean: what is the point of doing such a thing?
