Ok folks, sorry if this is an obvious question, but I do not have a very strong electronic background like many of you folks. I have a pair of Stax Lambda Pros that I am presently driving w/a Berning Microzotl tube amp via an SRD-7 Pro adapter. Now the question is, am I wrong in thinking that the microzotl provides the current and voltage amplification of the line level signal from the CDP (CAL CL-10) and then the SRD-7 provides the energizing (high) voltage for the diaphragms in the Lambdas? If so, does the SRD-7 have much of an effect on the sound? Now i am thinking that I should probably upgrade the wires that take the speaker level output from the micro, but other than that, will I really see a big improvement going to a more modern Stax amplifier? The micro is a great amp and does triple duty right now, driving the STAX, HD-600s and a pair of Sequerra monitors I bought from Orpheus (they are awesome, dude, you were right!!). BTW, my tastes do not go to ear-bleed volumes, orchestral stuff, or head-banging metal. The micro has some real nice NOS Tele ECC81s and Sylvania Chrome Dome 6SN7s. The sound is very nice, but as usual, I am trying to max it out. TIA for your help in educating me.
