Will tube amp give more of an analog sound to CD's


I have no experience with tube amps. Although I have very
good solid state amps and have tried tubed preamps I'm still
not satisfied with the analytical sound of the CD's. Even
the best sounding CD's lack that sound that seems to be only achieved with LPs. Components are Magnepan 1.6 speakers,McCormack DNA 0.5 Rev B, Krell KPS 20i/l. Anybody?

Hi David here. One of the main reasons tube amps have had such a huge resurrance over the last 15 years has been the 3 deminsonial sound and life they give to a somewhat flat and hard sounding medium,the compact disk. Dont get me wrong I still think my Linn Lp-12 sounds amazing but I love collecting new music,400 discs and counting and think many discs sound very good to great. Im using the Cary 306 player with Arc pre and power amp and would have a hard time switching to SS gear. Sometimes I bitch about the cost of NOS tubes,replacement etc. but really this is the kind of sound that often plays late into the night.
My system consists of SS CDP, tube preamp and tube amps. They together make a very synergistic, 3D and lively sound. I had one time switched to SS amp but I could not stand the analytic sound; therefore, I have to definitely go back to where I was standing and never looking back or think about solid state gear. But I have fun to replace different NOS tubes so you can also have changing sound you want.
Hello, I have had great success with the Mapleshade CD enhancements.After their use,it sounds like a more relaxed and more harmonically correct recording {Mikrosmooth,Ionoclast & Optrix}.These are available with a 30 day money back guarantee.Give Pierre a call,he can explain the use and purpose for each product.This kit will probably set you back $75 shipped.Happy listening.
