I started with Rouge 7 and Bel Cantos m600’s. The sounds stage was poor, midrange was very laid back. Overall not very good. I decided the Bel Cantos were not my cup of tea. So I replaced them with AGD Audions and everything got better except the sound stage still sounded small and not tube like. So I replaced the Rogue with a Cary SLP 05 ultimate NOS Tubes and now I couldn’t be happier.
Tube Pre/ Class D Amp - Who has done it?
Open forum for those who have actually tried this. Really curious to know who has been happy, or maybe unhappy, with a tube preamp driving a Class D amplifier?
Of course, tube pre with a solid state amp is a classic pairing for hard to drive speakers, especially ESL's. This is a little different. I'm really curious to know what pres and Class D amps have had great synergy.
