Will tube amp give more of an analog sound to CD's


I have no experience with tube amps. Although I have very
good solid state amps and have tried tubed preamps I'm still
not satisfied with the analytical sound of the CD's. Even
the best sounding CD's lack that sound that seems to be only achieved with LPs. Components are Magnepan 1.6 speakers,McCormack DNA 0.5 Rev B, Krell KPS 20i/l. Anybody?

My guess is that your CD player is not up to snuff. No need to seek euphonic colouration if the source and / or DAC are well designed using good quality parts. There are more than a few SS digital front ends ( players and / or DAC's ) that can do what you want without having to swap amps or impliment tubes. If you really like the aesthetics of your Krell, have it modified. For a player like this, i would probably contact Steve Huntley. Sean
