Looking at tubes ...


Isn't this like watching the visualizer in iTunes or Winamp? I like that, but is it worth the cost?

I like VU meters too, have them on my Son of Ampzilla.

Is it the same kind of thing? I'm on the fence about tubes, but I do have some Maggies now.

I was never a believer in the 70's, I have no experience with any tube amps or preamps.

Not sure what there is to watching tubes … kind of like watching a turntable go round and round, only a little less exciting.

In some applications tubes do contribute to a very natural and lifelike sound. Depending on where you want to employ tubes in your system, they normally require careful matching and don’t sound very good when mismatched.

Best phone your Maggie dealer or manufacturer and ask them if they are suitable for tubes.
