Conrad Johnson stuff is fine for music especially if you have pristine vinyl
and a quality turntable. For home theater it's not only a poor performer but
but a waste.

Why would one need an analogue pre-amp when dealing with a digital data
stream?

What's with the "Bwaaahahahah", it's a perfectly legimate question, why
do you need tube type
analogue preamp with a digital data stream?

Have you ever heard T2 or Chicago through tube based amps, while using a CJ 2ch
preamp to stage the LR channels?
How about older 1 or 2ch (All that Jazz, Conan or Casablanca for example) which
are rescued by such gear? In fact, ABS in LI ran a great demo with an old
Sonograph mono block tube stage just for the center channel and it was amazing.
Dialogue sounded far more natural an less bright.
I also run Rotel amps 1075 and 1080 with the PW2200 sub, which is better for
modern recordings.
You'd know more if you tried different gear, as I do. Loco is clearly working
off old issues of Stereophile, while running ancient Nad gear!

Hooooh ahhh!

I just don't feel the need to use tube gear to reproduce explosions and car
crashes. As far as a tube amp for center channel dialog goes ...... get a
grip.

In other words, you were talking out of your ass again. Let us know if you ever
care enough about cimena or music to buy a proper system to reproduce it.

Ahhh. I see. Sorry, but we also indulge in more refined cinema. There are no
explosions in All That Jazz, but lots of music.
Perhaps you should raise the bar a little on the films you watch.

We all figured that. Gay boys are known for their love of show tunes.

That's very nice Bob, I've heard a good many bands, Chicago included,
with the
original tube amps, (as in I was at a live concert), I know what tube
amps sound
like, I'm not going to get into a discussion regarding their merits and
drawbacks.

The question was "why do need a tube type analogue preamp with a digital
data stream?", could
you address that issue please?

Oh, BTW, would you mind terribly dropping the charming schoolboy
rhetoric?

I just did. Chicago aint the band, it's the movie. You are aware of analogue
outs, yes? You can switch between them and a D-Link. As I've found out, it can
work wonders. I especially find it helpful on older films.
