    Tubes vs. Solid State Amps

    Tubes vs Solid State amps..having had Goldmunds' best SS amp at the time and now my Chalice Audio SET monoblocks . I can say without any hesitation that a great SET amp/amps sound much more natural. I wouldn't trade my amps for any other amps.They get everything right.

    Anyone try the NEW 300B Tubes from Western Electric? Worth the Money? Better or Different than older Ones?

    I replaced my Psvane ACME 300B with the WE 300B Rosville tubes 3 days ago. The out of the box impression is that the new tubes are indeed better.The soundstage is better both wide and deep. The midrange is amazing and the imaging is so much better. A great start.
