RE: Wavelength Crimson

Given the respones to your comments, I get the impression that you are arguing with yourself. The fact is, there are many fine tube preamps/amps made today that are state-of-the art products.

Audio Research, Lamm, BAT, VAT, McIntosh, conrad-johnson make some great sounding stuff. I would love to own the new Audio Research Anniversary preamp.

We all understand that you don't agree with the statement that "seventy years later, vacuum tubes, and especially triodes, continue to be the lowest distortion amplifying elements ever made" Fine, good, great, that you don't agree. I don't think anyone here has a problem with that.

All this tells me is that you don't own or get to listen to fine tube equipment.

That's your loss.

All I was trying to do with the original post was to point out that the soundstage of the Crimson was probably largely influenced by its output tubes.

I'm also willing to bet that the bass on my system with the tube DAC is deeper, better defined, and more impactful than yours. I have tried the Weiss DAC2, Berkeley Alpha, and Metric Halo ULM-8 on my system and the Wavelength more than holds its own with these DACs.
