It is a good idea to purchase a vintage tube pre-amp.
Tks for your kind opinion, in order to prevent troubles, I am trying to avoid too old models. But as you know, the new models are quite expensive and one of my friend also gives the new models bad review in sound reproduction.  Such as R3, the dea...

It is a good idea to purchase a vintage tube pre-amp.
After I purchased a 2nd Accuphase C275V, I find that it grade in sound is unable to compare with the pre-amp. I owned more than 30 years ago.  The problem is the old tube amp. has problem occasionally which required maitenance which is trouble som... 
Tube Pre+ Transistor Power will burn your power Amp. easily?
Dear Sirs,Thanks a lot for your kind response.Which tube pre has better combination with Accuphase A-47 for pushing Dynaudio Contour 1.3SE. 
Tube Pre+ Transistor Power will burn your power Amp. easily?
Thanks a lot for your kind response and opinions. In fact, I use a tube pre. to run a SS power for a very long time without problem. But once upon a time, I turn on the volume to squeeze more power to play the Japanese Taiko (big drum) with more s... 
Which pre should I choose?
Dear Sirs,Thank you very much for your response. A good tube amplifier esp. the vintage need a specilist to exam but I am not an electronic expert. And the new one are quite expensive. Also, it is important to match the pre-and the power amplifier... 
Which pre should I choose?
analogluvr: Tks for your opinion. One of my friend also suggests me to choose a good solid state Pre. from famous brand for the longer life than the tube one.  What I care is once the vintage has problem, whether I can get it repair and recover...... 
Which pre should I choose?
Aolmrd 1241: Tks for your suggestions. I am afraid the vintage gear will always need repair constantly. It will cost your time and money and inconvenience.  Also, I have heard that  Tube amp. is not as durable as transister one. 
Which pre should I choose?
bdp 24: thick means the sound reproduction is not thin or lean orientation. But it doesn't mean fat. Fat will cause distortion in sound reproduction. 
room space
Dear All,  many tks. for your kind response.   To prevent troubles,I am planning to use a smaller one speaker such as Dyanaudio C1 or Contour 1.8 MKII as solution.  
room space
mgreen 27:Tks for your response and opinions. In addition to the accomodation to fit the room space with ideal sound, I also need to consider about the speaker's re-sell value.  Dyanudio seems having better re-sale value in my area in the far east... 
Lots of knobs might cause more repair chance
Thanks for your kind reply.  The problem is the source of the 2nd hand Amplifier. Most of them were not sold by the formal distributor, so it is impossible to get after service from the authorized technicians served in the distributor.   Also, the... 
Accuphase C2420 + A47
Hi, Dave,As you said, the C-2420 is not cheap, that is why I am careful to ask some users or someone with more experience in audio to provide their opinions..........Thank you for your understanding. 
Accuphase C2420 + A47
Dear donj,In fact, when I bought my A-47, the dealer demo the E-600 to push one of the Taoc HI end bookshelf speaker (The one had been chosen by the leading choice for the Stereophile which cost about US$20,000/pair.). Together with the Burmester ...
