| Ribbon midrange pros and cons my mistake then; mea culpa | |

| Is it common for tubes to outweigh the cost of the amp or preamp? you can't go wrong with vintage tubes from the US or from Europe; even 80's era East European tubes are far superior to what is coming from China and Russia, which is what you find typically in even high end gear.
