Overtubing? Danger?


I like the sound of tube amps. When I was a kid, my family had one of the huge music consoles and I was always in amazement when the back was removed for maintenance and a whole city of tubes was revealed. Plus, it sounded fat and rich.

Today, I am trying to recapture that sound, but I wonder. What does a signal from a CD transport, with tubes, sent to a pre-amp, with tubes, sending a signal to an amp, with tubes due to the sound? Is more tube better or is it overkill?

Matchstikman: Mankind has had and used tubes for about a hundred years now. On the other hand, Aliens have obviously used SS gear for a lot longer and have travelled a lot further than we ever have. After all, if it wasn't for Roswell and the technology that we "discovered" in their ships, we would still be 100% reliant on tubes. As such, who's technology are you going to trust ? Those that travel across the universe through space and time or those that want to use the limited technology that they have to blow themselves and their planet up ??? : ) Sean
