What type of amps do you use? Tube? Solid State? Both? Hybrid?

My first post at AS, hello from Istanbul. Hybrid, Ypsilon Phaeton for the moment which will be replaced by the Ypsilon Aelius monoblocks

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!

I just recently purchased an F6 as well. What speakers are you using with it?

Salk Songtowers. I was considering a different First Watt amp, but Mark at Reno thought the F6 would be a better match.

I have about 20 Tube amps and 1 solid state.

I guess my vote is both.

Always SS Power amp - recently into Class D after I DIY a mono pair of Hypex Ncore NC400.

Tubes; the more the better.......

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.

 

[MarinJim]

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

 

[audioholic]

I agree, sometimes with the correct match it is a great combination.

Amps:

McIntosh MC2301s (front 3 channels), Gold Lion KT88 reissues, Telefunken ECC801S.
Denon POA-A1HD 10 ch amp, (bi-amped surround channels)

Pre-amps:

McIntosh C1000C/T/P, Tesla E83CC, Telefunken ECC803S (2ch plus unity passthru)
Denon AVP-A1HD (multi-ch)

All channels & combinations are fully balanced.

Welcome to the forum Quartz!

Thanks Joe...It's nice to be a part of a forum full of Audio lovers.

 

[Audioseduction]

SS myself, Pass Labs class A mono blocks. I think they provide the best of both worlds.

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.
