| Adding a SS amp as a 2nd amp for my tube rig has been a plus @hilde45 a while back I tried three different inexpensive ss amps (CJ,STA 200,Audiolab)along with my tubed dac and pre but never cared for the sound.I did like the convenience though.I'm sure there are other amps that would make a better combinati... | |
| Are systems genre dependent? "If the TONALITY of a system is bad with solo violin it will be bad with a '52 Telecaster, and it's just bad"Truth^^^^But I really think a flea watt amp was never meant to do justice to heavy metal for example.But can be fabulous with BB King on t... | |

| What solid state power amp are you using with your Harbeth Super HL5+ speakers? I run my Harbeths with a sixty watt tube amp after borrowing and trying a couple of ss amps.What I have found to clean up and tighten the bass is to use IsoAcoustic pucks between speakers and stands.The cabinets vibrate quite a bit which contribut... | |
| JBL 43xx va Harbeth 40.x If you get the JBLs don't be in a rush to rehome your Harbeths.That dynamic front row center presentation is fun and exciting but ultimately can be fatiguing.I sold my exciting dynamic speakers and went with Harbeths.Occasionally I miss the other ... | |
