I have a Carver Pro Class "t" digital amp and am wondering if anyone out there is using tubes in front, for their Bel Canto, HCA-2, Spectron amps? thanks...
Good question, Voodoochile. However, one reason I like the SF is that it is not tube-y. It is tight, clean and honest. It may not be perfect (what is?) but it does not compromise the eVo.
Thanks to all for your input; I have auditioned several high quality tube pre's, and as mentioned above, the added dynamics to a fast, agile amp is really the best of both worlds, in my opinion. I think it is well worth the effort, and further, i think that tube preæs might actually work best with digital amps. Dan
I own the Spectron Musician 1 amp and have just found the magic tube pre amp. It's not even known yet as far as I know, but it is a Eastern Electric Mini Max. It can be found at Galen Carol Audio, but sure who else carries it at this time.
It sounds so dang good, I now have to live without a remote which I would not believe I could ever do, but I guess I have to get used to it now. I do not want to sacrifice the magic I have now found.
