| Nagra VPA 845 retubing Obrennan1963, according to my dealer, he said tubes start deteriorating from 3000hrs onwards if you are using Nagra tubes. You would hear noticeable differences from 5000hrs onwards. Best is to use their own tubes because they(Nagra) will buy and ... | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please Thanks Shsohis. but my dealer did not have it. From the reviews, it was described as notes have clarity and not hard, edgy and a big see through soundstage, too bad i'm not prepare to risk 18K without an audition.

| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please hi Atmasphere,just reading thru one of your earlier post, you said "Deep bass seems to me the hardest thing for tube preamps to do right, but if they do that right there will be no solid state that can keep up".
