    George -- I traded my Emo amp for some tubes. Seriously, I'm done with amps. Only tubes could usurp the power of Emo:cool:
    HT/2-channel Rig: Sony 50” LCD TV; Toshiba HD-A2 DVD player; Emotiva LMC-1 pre/pro; Rogue Audio M-120 monoblocks (modded); Placette RVC; Emotiva LPA-1 amp; Bada HD-22 tube CDP (modded); VMPS Tower II SE (fronts); DIY Clearwave Dynamic 4CC (center); Wharfedale Opus Tri-Surrounds (rear); and VMPS 215 sub

    "God grooves with tubes."

    I know...I need to try some other tube gear, mainly pre's. I'm done with tube amps though.

    Don't need to......I've moved on to bigger and better things. Emo holds no interest to me at this point....beyond perhaps a seperate HT system.

    P.s. I don't mean that statement to sound conceited.......audio is a long journey and we are all in different places in our journey. I'm just farther along mostly because I want to be. There are many others that are beyond me.....I will keep traveling

    lol but that statement is ridculous. How can you say you've moved on from something you have not tried??? C'mon man dont go elitist on me.

    Why done with tube amps? Just curious. I think that I can safely speak about 1C's,, as I've owned enough of them:o,,but honestly,, they have never sounded as good as they do now with tubes. I could be overreacting,, but for right now, there is a tube monkey on my back. ;)


    Ooops,, sorry for the derail,, I can't get into the Emo line either,, mainly because I'm too preoccupied with tweaking the tubed system.IIRC,, someone said that they sounded better than Belles,, thats a pretty hefty statement,, guess I'll have to et my ears on one(Emo)
