I just switched back to my ss equipment and can't see how I listened to ss for so many years and thought that I had a good system, maybe the equipment needs to be left on for some time. But regardless of that, the difference is startling. I know that my tube equipment is not the same degree of excellence as my ss, but now ss sounds lean, thin lifeless. Have my listening priorities changed? One thing I noticed; my listening perception adapts to the sound present in the room. As I write this the sound is improving incremently. Anyone share the same experience?? I will post as I will continue to listen and notice differences. Ss is simaudio p-5 w-5, tubes are Cj premier 4 amp and audio experience a2se preamp. Are there ss preamps that will satisfy or am I smitten by bubes I mean tubes. |
