Fact is the times have changed in audio. Digital is blossoming with tech that combines dac, amp, preamp, room correction etc.. all into one or two boxes keeping the signal all digital up until the point the signal is sent to the speaker.
Read all the recent reviews of my Lyngdorf 2170 or the Exogal Comet and Ion amp. The future is here right now. This gear is better than all those Class A /AB amps and separate boxes of tube preamp, dac with extra ICs and power cords. We are really experiencing a very exciting time in audio history. It is happening right now as we type these posts.
I sold my cutting edge and arduously fine tuned tube and SS gear nicely packaged in numerous separates and assorted hook-up wire for today’s exciting digital tech. The sound is better. I would have never believed it, but I experienced it and love the fact that is comes in one cooling running 15 pound package.
Some very special and unrivaled sounding digital gear is currently being introduced and it is nothing short of a sonic revolution. It will sweep our landscape and render our old sonic technology as mere collectors items of days gone by. This is not some sort of small evolutionary change from classic tube gear to modern day tube gear. Rather, this is disruptive change and innovation that will forever change our hobby. This is not somewhere off in the future folks, it is here right now. What a wonderful time to be an audiophile! Especially and essentially if you are an open minded Aphile not blindly holding onto past paradigms and experiences. The cheese has indeed moved. It may take longer for some to fully accept it😊
I still like soldering and building/modding point to point wired tube gear and enjoy the way they sound. However, I know my Lyngdorf is better in every way. While it is fun for me to drop in my latest tube amp project I fully realize it is a hobby and not SOTA.
