In the Thread: Does tube preamplifier VTL would add tube sound to system

Post Subject: Tube pre-amp for ss power ampPosted by muddasir on: 7/10/2010

I agree i have been making mistakes even costly ones. I had taken the biamping route with cary and krell on B&W , and that was the purpose of getting both the amps, to get the best out of both ,,,,,,it turned out mixing oil and water,,,,,the most obvious and serious problems were, slew rate difference/time delay in both amps, gain and phase differences not to mention the absence of even and odd harmonic components of main frequency driven by each LF and HF drivers in HF and LF respectively.

I think its a dilema for pursuit of happiness it is there but u crave more ....never really satisfied. I am not sure if could call my self audiophile but i wonder what the real pleasure/objective of an audiophile is , collection of exotic devices, aura of listening, drama of accomplishing something and just pretend to be wanting more. ANY WAY that was sunjective. In one sentence if i could describe what i want out of my system, pleasing very pleasing life like /live vocals , absence of listening fatigue .Thats why i brought up the subject ,,,,, ithought that the pre-amp was the weakest link .
