Uy, inilagay ako ah..

Of course, my Onkyo 797 can't be counted in since it's an AVR. But my next upgrade would most probably be to go separates, using Solid State amps. The 797 would be only used as a pre-amp by then.

As long as its SS, I don't see why not.

Kasama ba cdp dito

av_phile1 · « **Reply #9 on:** Jul 09, 2004 at 06:40 PM »

I think most of us here are solid state users, from players to amps and subs. And some with a mix of hybrids/tubes and SS along the audio path. So maybe the question is a bit too open, as it covers both ALL-SS and Some-SS set-ups, right?

av_phile1, i think the thread should be renamed to "How many members of PinoyDVD are solid state amp users?" so as not to confuse, right?

I second the motion...lets just include the names of those using solid state amplifiers. i'll add my gainclone amp in the mix

audi0slave · « **Reply #12 on:** Jul 09, 2004 at 09:09 PM »

OK, motion granted since most of us are using solid state CD Players... but in case you want to associate yourself as more of a solid state buff than a tube head, you can put your SS gears on the list...

thread title ... modified

sandawa · « **Reply #13 on:** Jul 09, 2004 at 09:58 PM »

I'm still biased in favor of solid state and I believe in the many articles from TAS and Stereophile, since the '80s, that claimed the best SS amps would never sound inferior compared with the best valve amps. My SS amps are based on what I could afford and not the top of the brands' line: Accuphase E302, Sansui Alpha 907, Sansui AUD-907F, Musical Fidelity A-120, Yamaha B-70, Yamaha CA-1000III, Kenwood KR-7400. Only the Accuphase and MF were bought new so many years ago, the rest were Japanese surplus, or acquired from the used market.
