Hello, I was wondering if anyone has manufactured a tubed tone control that could be put in-line between a cd player and preamp? I was hoping to add some musicality by rolling some NOS tubes into it, hopefully without hurting resolution too much.
I've had the same dilemma, but, unfortunately, couldn't find a solution. Too lazy to fool around with cabling/tubes to serve as tone-controls. So,a Mac pre- is what I am going to get.
Other than that, you could get a Z-man ASE tube line buffer. It uses a single 12AX7 tube for both channels and you could tube roll (but no tone controls).
If you like the Z-man idea, I have a good one that I may sell. You can e-mail me privately if interested.
Musical Fidelity has just such an item, called the X-10D Tube Buffer, and they're cheap and easy to come by both new and used. Try Audio Advisor for a new one or just do a search here.
