| A tubes vs. Solid State question. When driven too hard tube amps do not clip much to the ear, but are out of steam, well done solid state which in my opinion will always use Bi-polar or Jfet type transistors can do this just about as well, and still have Slam factor to wake the de... | |
| "Off" vs. "Standby" and tube life Not sure of absolute life span, but tubes in general I would only run preamps for 24 hours before the weekend you will listen and shut off after that on a weekly basis, this will of course probably take 1 year off a tube that would maybe last 10 a... | |

At 600.00 Its gonna be basically With a cheaper phono stage internally(more than likely MM only)and no remote, or with remote No phono, ... | |
