| Does a Tube Dac make sense? There is no more reason to discount a DAC having a tube output stage than a tube pre or a tube amp. In some regards less so. DACs often have fewer tubes than preamps, tubes are of lower output and less costly than preamps or amps. They are often u... | |
| Help me complete my stereo system (Harbeth, ClearAudio Concept). I am thinking you will like the Luxman/Harbeth combo. | |
