Adding tube buffer to Rotel instead of............


I have a dual use system with a Rotel 1068 pro for movies and I have a hybrid Sonic Frontiers SFL1 pre amp for two channel, if I were to add a MF tube buffer and sell off the Sonic would I expect good results? I am wanting the convenience of the Rotel but with a more refined sound that tubes provide, plus rack space would be gained....is this at all wise or should I leave things alone? Associated gear is listed under my system, thanks.

Greetings, I have three of these awesome little tube buffers. If you want to take them to a whole new level, get the MF XPSU to power them and "Revelation Audio Labs" power cables for them.

Many are avialable on the used market. But if you want to go with new ones and buy them through "Musicdirect.com" you'll get a 30 day money back guarantee.

So if you order them and find out you don't like them (fat chance) you'll only be out the shipping cost. Additionally, if you keep them, they'll have a 3 year warranty.

A word on usage: As is the preferance in Europe, and I've also found this to be true...is that tubes sound their best when used as close to the "source" component as possible. ie. you don't want them "downstream", in the signal path.

Happy listing

I was wondering why anyone would want to add another stage in the signal path just for the sake of it, especially a tube stage. Ngjockey's explanation makes sense to me.
Nothing but a band-aid approach. Either employ tubes properly in the system........or don't.
