In the Thread: Paul McGowan. tubes in preamp
Post Subject: Paul McGowan. tubes in preampPosted by wolfy on: 8/26/2018
Paul McGowan is a regular poster on youtube. I have to take his presentations with a grain of salt as they always conform to sales pitch for PS Audio products, but they are interesting. Recently, he asserts that tubes in preamp stage will provide higher resolution. Ok, great, but if that is the case I would like to better understand why. Romy asserts that tubes belong in the power amplifier and not in preamp section. Ok, great too, and that makes more sense to me.
Really, tubes are more transparent that solid state? It's my understanding that tubes are inherently producing more distortion of the signal, so how is resolution or transparency going to be better with tubes?
