| DACs and reproduced sound if all components are imperfect, they exhibit coloration.the fact that coloration is unintentional and a consequence of many factors implies that configuring a stereo system is essentially creating a balance among colorations. | |

| Hybrid vs. Straight Tubes my favorite tube integrated amp is an original jadis orchestra. i believe the first version was 60 watts.listen to this product and decide for yourself if it has the qualities of tube amplification which satisfy your taste. | |
| More of a Tube Sound In a Tube CD player agree with tvad regarding tube cd player. i have achieved the presentation in my stereo system in spite of the digital front end. i am using an art audio preamp, which uses two 6sn7 tubes. it is currently under review. | |
