| help with a lush 50 watt+ amp Do you have a budget? New or used? Are you going to drive your Quads? I can't recall your pre-amp - what are you using? | |

It can make as much or more difference than the differences between CDP's or amps. Lacking specific knowledge of the outcome of changing tubes in the '16' and what if any tonal dif... | |

If you identify your pre-amp and tell us what you are trying to improve in its sound quality it would ... | |
| Passion or obsession I hope in the first sentence of your last paragraph you are only referring to the connection of audio to the listening experience, that is the apparent need for excellence for one to enjoy the music. Not, that folks here have an 'exaggerated sense... | |
