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

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.

Ceb222,Tpsonic might have nailed that one. Under my user name, look up "threads initiated". Read "Wash, Cut, Polish and Demagnetize". It ALL starts at the CD, and it's amazing at how much you can improve the average CD.

I am seriously considering a tube preamp to go with my SS amp & CDP. I have always used SS exclusively, but these discussion threads are making me adjust my thinking.

What I DON'T understand is : Why are New-Old-Stock (NOS) tubes the only ones that people try to use - especially Russian Military spec? Are there no modern, US-made tubes that work well for hi-fi use?

Is it that tubes are not used in industry enough to keep manufacturing new ones, so we are stuck with tracking down 1960's stock in some forgotten warehouse somewhere in Rotterdam???

My guess is that your CD player is not up to snuff. No need to seek euphonic colouration if the source and / or DAC are well designed using good quality parts. There are more than a few SS digital front ends ( players and / or DAC's ) that can do what you want without having to swap amps or impliment tubes. If you really like the aesthetics of your Krell, have it modified. For a player like this, i would probably contact Steve Huntley. Sean
