sound like you might want a hybrid amplifier. One with a tube front end and a solid state power output section.
Switching to solid state amp?
I have had tube amps for the past 20+ years and have totally enjoyed their sound in my system. I am thinking of trying a solid state amp. Pass Labs comes to mind but would be open to anyone who made the switch, was happy and what brand worked for you. Btw I will still be using a tube preamp. Who has been happy with the switch?

moscode hybrid, used.... https://www.audiogon.com/listings/tube-amazing-hybrid-power-amp-2017-10-03-amplifiers It’s solid state output, one that is designed from the ground up...with that tube voltage gain front end (in the amplifier), to match your retained tube preamp. These amps are ’tunable’. Hybrids are always on my short list. At the bottom of the listing is a link to a 6 moons review of the older model. Read. It explains why hybrids are in some important and critical ways... ’the only real choice’. |
