| Considering switching to Tubes Oh yeah esp803, if you have the budget for a Prima Luna integrated and they'll give 30 days to try, highly recommend you go for it. Unlike SS where its a crapshoot with tube gear the similarities are to where after a while you can just look at wha... | |
| Considering switching to Tubes Tube integrateds are definitely the way to go. By far the best performance for the money out there. This will sound funny but since you can't audition then you might as well bank on the fact you will very likely fall in love with whatever tube amp... | |

| Well ... The Lightbulb Just Went On! Hi MillerYou're not using very much logic here. Why don't you let the thread continue on the merits it started with. Any part any where has a coloration. That's been established since the 70's. Why not build on reality and move forward from ther... | |
