Amp's role in TONE

Forums

Hi, I use an average Sony ES power amp, and it sounds SO sweet when I push it wide open w/ my vinyl recordings (CD sources tend to sound worse after a certain threshold). Can someone explain this phenomenon, and how a solid state handles it differently than a tube circuit?

Any thoughtful comments would be greatly appreciated.

Choices and methods for archiving LPs, tapes, CD, etc.

I've been noticing that one of the many recurring themes on the this forum seems to be about how best to use a computer to archive one's music collection into some digital format. I believe that this type of question is one which lends itself rather well to discussion on an open forum like this one.

There are so many factors to take into account and several different methods of finding a workable solution, all with positive and negative sides to them, that only by having everyone's ideas and opinions heard can one make some kind of intelligent decision on how best to proceed.
