In Reply to: My lessons. involving switching to tubes. posted by njjohn on December 15, 2004 at 19:15:06:
I am one of those who is not willing to go to a tube based system. But the joy of this hobby is that there is more than one way to good sound.My issue with using a DVD player as a transport for 2 channel is that in my experience those with processors built in sound awful in 2 channel. My Teac T-1 transport blows them out of the water in 2 channel. The RS switcher also leaves a lot to be desired. It cuts the sound stage & is unpleasant. The other issue is where does my Turntable plug in? ;-)

I'm have been just extremely surprised at the natural sound of this inexpensive Denon dvd player as it goes directly to the tube amps.It far surpasses the Rotel 985 preamp processor. that I had before that.
The only disadvantage is that volume is set at all the amps. There is no central volume control. (I have volume controls on all my amps.)
The solution for the turntable would be this. The rca selector switch from Radio Shack has three inputs or choices. So one could be from the dvd player for the ht, the other can be from the dac, and the third can be from the turntable/phono preamp. The turntable would have to have its own seperate phone preamp.
I just love the sound. You actually "forget" the sound, and just get into the movie. Voices are very natural.
