I had wondered about using a tube buffer between a CDP and my tube preamp....but my preamp IS a tube preamp which, in effect, is a tube buffer, no?.....
Oh...will you be back by then? If so, cool!
You guys crack me up. I had wondered about using a tube buffer between a CDP and my tube preamp....but my preamp IS a tube preamp which, in effect, is a tube buffer, no? Why would I add a tube buffer ahead of my tube preamp? That means I'd be changing the sonic character of my tube preamp with a different tube buffer. Why the hell would I do that since I love the sound of my D Sachs Model 2?Anyway, my thinking about modded CDPs is what led to my thinking about saving money by using a cheap tube buffer instead of my spending a kazillion dollars on a modded CDP. After typing the question and posting it, I realized that I simply do not need a tube modded CDP in my system. If can take the money I would have spent of a CDP/tube buffer and consider buying a server instead....or just knuckle down and buy a DAC like yours, Greg. How's that working out? You ready to sell it to me yet? I saw that ad, too btw.....and I periodically contact one of the NA distributors about this or that option and what it's going to cost. I still haven't decided....but I will return to PDX in 6 weeks, so I had better decide soon.
