Larryi,I could try other brands of tubes for sure, but I'm resonably happy for now.I found Cary's Chinese 6SN7's were better than Electro Harmanix in the DJH preamp in my system.I found the Svetlana EL34 excellent in the Jolida 302 w/ RCA front en... | |

| is getting a tube pre a valid option with ss amp? I think the reason I liked the AES(Cary's budget line)AE-3 DJH preamp so much is that it uses 6SN7 tubes. It sounds "oh-so-good". I like them better than the 12AX7 tubes of my Jolida integrated. That is why I bought the AES Superamp MkII power amp... | |
| is getting a tube pre a valid option with ss amp? Larryi,Intersting thoughts.

| Can a preamp's gain be lowered? It is funny that you have had problems with Cary (AES). Every time I called Cary and told the receptionist I wanted to talk to someone about an AES product technical support I got transfer immediately. He would look up the schematic and have an an... | |
| Can a preamp's gain be lowered? I used to own the DJH preamp with 2 different SS poweramps (Linn Klout and Pass Labs Aleph 30) and its 20 db gain had me clipping the amps at 11 o'clock. I sold it because it had little volume control adjustment, even if it did sound awesome.This ... |
