5 Things To Consider When Buying A Tube Amplifier
About this episode
An interview with Justin Weber Of ampsandsound. Justin walks us through 5 things to consider when purchasing a tube amplifier. This includes a deep dive into power needs, tube choices, tube colorations, overall topology preferences and more. Justin is both an excellent amplifier designer and a lifelong hobbiest of hifi. This thorough revisitation into tube amplifiers both breaks new ground for the show and adds to our vast knowledge base for listeners. Don't forget to also check out our Guide To Tube Amplifiers from season 6 and our Ode To The 300b Tube from season 7 for even more info on audiophile glass.
