Hi, I would like to hear if anybody has experience with using a Class D power amp with a tube preamp?
I'm attracted to the low power consumption and small size of Class D as well as the reportedly authoritative sound. However, I'm worried that I won't like the unforgiving sound that a lot of reviewers seem to experience with Class D, and I wondered whether a good tube preamp would be sufficent to soften the sound? Thanks, Jens
Stereophile gets press releases every day. Some days, they are for products that strike us as really great ideas, sometimes they make us go huh? And sometimes we think both.
It has a fan, it won't work without a monitor, and it contains a 750GB hard drive—for some audiophiles, that's a trifecta of reasons <I>not</I> to buy the McIntosh MS750 music server ($6000).

I have had a pair of radio shack Realistic NOVA-18 speakers for several years, and they were only used as the L/R channel in my surround sound DVD system. (Only used for watching movies). When the woofer surrounds finally bit the dust, I had a friend rebuild them for me.
