| Tekton Double Impacts Update: I just concluded a very successful and compelling audition / demo of some truly terrific and exceptional amplification components.I ordered the T+A PA 3100 HV integrated amplifier, which will now serve as a central piece in the system driv... | |
| Have you moved from tubed amplification to solid state amplification... Why? Skip, yes it is the T+A. The week long audition of the Ypsilon was extremely helpful. It wasn’t an easy decision.

| Tube and SS pairs @mrmb 's response focuses on the point that there are no clear or absolute answers. The other posts are also confirming this. I believe conventional advice is Tube Pre > Solid State Amp but IT Truly depends on your components and what you ar... | |
| Any Paradigm Persona 3f and GoldenEar Reference comparisons? @returntomusic The ’several hour drive’ is well worth undertaking for speakers you may have for a number of years.
