Hello everyone!
I am new to this forum, so Hi to all!
I just got into this whole audiophile thing,
First off I listen mostly to classical but I like all types of music. I have the K701's and a MKIII tube amplifier going straight to my computer sound card X-fi, i know its not optimal but im just starting!
Anyways here my question, I have listened to my friends amplifier the solid state headroom micro and compared it between my MKIII tube (only 7 hrs of play on amp) and to be honest, after an hour of comparison we could not tell a dramatic difference between them, I mean we couldn't listen to the liquid mids or smooth sound that is typical of a tube amplifer, don't get me wrong the sound is great but i thought it would be different at least...
Anyways if anyone can give any insight on this subject I would be very grateful! am i going crazy
Thanks,
-Mike.
