Re: What type of amps do you use? Tube? Solid State? Both? Hybrid?
Tubes. I recently replaced my Pass Labs INT-150 with a Primaluna Premium Dialogue HP and haven't looked back! The sound is far richer and simply more realistic to my ears.

Main amp is Hybid, secondary amp is SS.
I had swapped them every few months along with speakers, but built another system with the pcs.-----------------

Re: What type of amps do you use? Tube? Solid State? Both? Hybrid?
In May of last year, I purchased a First Watt F6.
last week, I added a RB10 tube preamp from Audio by Van Alstine. It is a new model and sounds very good in my system!

Just switched from tubes (kt-88) to Oasis S200 M 200W class A SS. Love the tube sound and love these SS with a bit of warmth as well. A little tube like!

Off line, I talk to AS members about this thread a lot.
The results are puzzling to me. I would have thought tubes would have been higher, much higher.

I have about 20 Tube amps and 1 solid state.

Re: What type of amps do you use? Tube? Solid State? Both? Hybrid?
To my ears solid state creates a hi-fi experience whereas tubes can transform a listening session into an emotional experience.
With tubes I do however miss the extreme low end grunt solid state can provide with big speakers.

I like SS for amps and tubes for preamps and DACs. I get the best of both worlds.

Re: What type of amps do you use? Tube? Solid State? Both? Hybrid?
Is there a place for "all of the above" ? I have several different listening rooms and systems. Like many of you my gear closet is huge and fairly active in some of the rooms. I pretty much like the virtues of every type but I don't spend much time listening to components stock. Stock to me is for shipping only. I like getting my components as close to the original designer's sound as possible.

Re: What type of amps do you use? Tube? Solid State? Both? Hybrid?
I must add: the Luxman power amp is just for drive my AKG K1000 headphones.
For the main speakers (Mission 767) I use a pair of tube McIntosh 275 in mono configuration plus the LFAU (solid state) active filter and low freq amp + PSX additional power supply.
In my second and smaller equipment, the amp is solid state. A Cyrus II SE + (again) PSX additional power supply, driving a pair of two way Vieta BD-5070 monitors, which I'm planning to replace for the stunning KEFs' LS 50 (and a KEF sub, too).

Until end of 2015, all Burmester (5 channels).
Then I heard my current amps, and I changed to Halgorythme.
3 mono blocks for the front three speakers, and 1 stereo amplifier for the rears.
They punch waaaaaay above their price point.

All tubes here. ARC Anniversary Pre & 610T Amps.

Re: What type of amps do you use? Tube? Solid State? Both? Hybrid?
The hybrid I use is the Pathos Classic Integrated amp. that's in my living room, driving the old Quad ESL 57 electrostatic speakers.
The tube amp. is a VTL tiny triod that drives my new Monitor Audio Silver RS6 speakers. Formerly they drove the Spendor 100 SL speakers, using a Reference Line Passive pre-amp.
When the mood suits me I have a no-name integrated 300B SET amp. that I use on my Spendors and now the Monitors.
Stashed in a closet, I have an Audio Illusions Mod II pre-amp that I'm not using because I like the Passive preamp better, and besides, it needs re-tubing.

Both in triamp arrangement, SS/tubes/SS. Low bass below 80 Hz handled by a 500w SS powered sub. > 80 by tube and SS biamped floor standers (Tannoys) driven by a pair of 125w tube monoblocks and a 100w/ch integrated SS for the high end.
