I've played around through the years with every combination & the path to Nirvana for me was Digital Front End with Tube Amplification...
CD players and integrated amos
In your experience what worked better, an all tube CD player and Integrated amp or mix the components.Lets say a solid state integrated with a tube CD player or tubed intergrated with solid state CD player?Or all solid state components may be your choice! Thanks for any information.
