Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass)

Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass)
@Mysticriver.  greetings and let me say how sorry i am about the events you had to deal with.  I think losing my audio system would be the worst thing second only to losing my dogs.  How did  your physical music collection fair though all this?  R... 
Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass)
goodness i am surprised that no one has yet listed one of the greatest SS amps on the market, and it is a real bang for the buck.  that amp is the PS Audio BHK amp.   i have owned many amps over the years and this is the best ever.  Plus they buil...

Please help me chose a tube preamp
All i can say is the the PS Audio BHK preamp transformed my system.   i had been running directly from the PS DSD DAC to the BHK amp,  but the preamp really improved every aspect of the sound.  very reliable and great functionality and PS has grea...
