Greetings from the PNW!
« on: 31 Jul 2022, 04:29 am »
Hi all,

Long-time audiophile here with stints on Audio Asylum (no longer active there) and Head-Fi (quite active still).

After being very much into headphones (still am), I realized that my handy-dandy tube headphone amp could work as an excellent tube preamp, and I could sell my integrated for a better power amp and have even better sound quality once winter comes… so here I am.

My current setup is mid-fi with all music in digital form (both 16/44 ripped CDs and high-res), though with a better power amp I expect it will be a couple of notches higher in quality!

To quote the creation of a Portlander (the REAL Portland, not Maine :wink:): DOH!
