| going from tube preamp to solid state Sounds like the soundstage issue is a big problem unrelated to tube vs solid state. You might start out by discussing this issue with the manufacturer. I’m assuming that in treating your room that you did basic things like damping first reflecti... | |
| going from tube preamp to solid state @innersound300 What preamp are you using currently? BTW..You can post your system under your profile and you can see what others are using under their profile. I have always listened to tube preamps, so I won’t be of use here but others might ... | |
