Are Tube Buffers for real or even worth it ?


Currently on one of my set ups I’m running a Carver TFM-35X amp through a Parasound ZPre3 Preamp to some Maggi .7’s.  Being I really prefer a tube sound I was wondering if I picked up a Tube Buffer for a few bucks and ran it from the output of the Parasound preamp to the input of the Carver TFF-35x amp would it tame the carver’s output to more of a warmer tube type sound out of the Maggi’s? Has anyone tried anything like this and been happy with the results? 

The Amp is a beast but just a tad Solid State sounding for my taste but kicks butt none the less. 

Any thoughts?

I think that means behind every good woman, is a stack of electronics....loosely interpreted.

Really like my Black Ice Foz SSX 3D sound expander.  Can’t really explain why but it just sounds better with it.  Bass control and Sound stage expander control is subtle with minor impact.  Have a NOS 60’s Westinghouse long Carbon Plate 12au7 tube in it which is a fantastic tube.

...I've never seen any improvement in buffing tubes, since they're glass....

A little Windex goes a long way to improve the shine, but don't apply during a 'hot sess' with yours....

@oddiofyl .....I think that comment from the @tubebuffer falls into the same category as:

My you live in interesting times....

...you've really ought to get out more.... ;) *L*

I' purchased a new itube2 late March 2018 and it and system has been running 24/7 (fingers crossed) Many pieces (streamers, amps, couple of dacs, wiring, power supplies, TVs, speakers etc) many multiples of its cost have come and some gone but after I heard what it does I've not had a desire to run without it. Sources are Qobuz/Tidal/TV. Everything solid state except for the iTube2 in unity gain. I've enjoyed this amazing piece the last 4 years, hope I didn't just jinx the tube lol.
