Tube preamp reliability vs SS?
Which also saves me over 2k in money for a new CD player and cables, so I guess it's for the better, as I still need to get. My old stratos upgraded as well. Money will be tight to get all th is done.

What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report

Tube preamp reliability vs SS?
Not sure what to expect with the classic 2SE, I'm not one to. Have a lot of cash, so if I dump 2k+ into this pre, and I don't lIke the tube being a pian in the butt, I will be so depressed , as I won't have any cash left for anything.  
Tube preamp reliability vs SS?
Still considering the Conrad Johnson classic 2 SE. I THINK THERE IS ONLY 1 Small tube in it????  Help me if I'm wrong. Would this his be ok for rock/metal, or would bass be too slushy with this preamp? Will be buying ing the nad 546 CD player. And... 
Tube preamp reliability vs SS?
Would running low freq music, heavy bass techno etc etc through system break in the capacitors at all on preamp? Adding more bass overall??? 
Tube preamp reliability vs SS?

Odyssey Audio: Sent amp for service 4 months ago, no amp / no contact back
This is an odd situation, more info please. Something not not making sense. Klaus can be slow, but, will always follow through. Contact where purchased from, let us know exactly what amps they are. And why someone would agree to fix another compan... 
Sanders sound systems preamplifier
Can I wrap some foil/elec tape on the cables where they touch? It is not possible to have them not touch.  This wouldn't add bass to my dilemma.  I would hate to return the sanders pre!
