I must raise my paw for the Mac as well, and add that I sent it in for refurbishing/recalibration right to them. Came back great! Also, I added an FM ariel to my roof to great effect, although it attracts cable and dish sellers. But it is worth the look on their faces when I tell them I do not want cable and do not watch TV. Its for music, ye clods!
tube tuner and sources
I bought Rogue 99 and 88 was thoroughly enjoying tube sound. I have non-tube CD player and does not know what I have missed out (will tube CD player sound different?). Can someone enlighten me tube/nontube sources in relation to tube pre and power amp? I want to get an excellent FM analog tuner, so want advice on (1) if tube FM tuner is the way to go? (2) excellent tube tuners below 3k? (I am thinking of getting a non-tube tuner Fanfare FT1A at this point). thanks!
