| Need help understanding tube wpc I have heard the same thing that Tobias states from a reputable manufacturer of both types of power amps. There is a difference between tube and ss wattage as I have experienced it first hand; same manufacturer of ss and tube amp. | |

| Cary slp 98 vs CJ 16 or 17 preamp I have owned both the cj 17I and the 16II the 16II is more detailed with better resolution. I have no experience with Cary.Chuck | |
| Power cord suggestions for CDP and tube amp I use PS Audio xstream statements on all my equipment and highly recommend them. They are well within your budget used and are very well built and designed. Although I admitt that I have not experimented with many power cords.Chuck | |

| Mods in Tube players: list in order Power supply, analogue output stage and the clocking circuit will all render huge improvements in either a ss or tube player. Which is more important........I suspect they all are since they lend synergies with one another. I had the superclock II... | |
