| Tube or solid state Depends on your personal preferences of music choice. By my opinion tube amps couldn’t handle high dynamics of some genres. Metallicas Hardwired Album could be used as a tester. Try to listen to it on tube amp and compare to SS and you’ll understa... | |
| World's Best Stereo System ?... The best for who? R we talking about some standard universal approach here? For that matter we all need to have standard universal personality, hearing, taste. Isn’t it nonsense!? | |
