WHY TUBES?

Tubes have a three dimensional quality on music that most solid state amps don't have. Most guitarists prefer almost any tube guitar amp over almost any solid state amp. Audiophiles love tube's imaging and midrange. Some solid state amps have harsh, artficial sounding midrange and high frequencies. Most of the music, including vocals, guitar, piano, violins and horns, is in the midrange. With tubes, the midrange and highs sound warm and sweet. You can listen all day without fatigue. New tubes are easy to find from many sources. Tubes can last many years. Gold Sound is your source for new and used tube power amps, integrated amps and preamps with superior sound quality, reliability and value. If your solid state amp or current speakers sound too bright, using a tube preamp will tame this, plus give you better imaging and a wider soundstage. Horn speakers that can sound harsh with a solid state amp, sound much smoother with a tube amp. Classic Klipsch, JBL, Altec and EV horn speakers were designed for tube amps and sound far better with tube amps.     

Our new tube amps can sound better and cost less than classic amps. New amps give you a 2 to 3 year parts/labor warranty, remote control, headphone jacks, better quality capacitors, resistors and other internal parts, plus gold RCA inputs and double banana outputs. Some models include Home Theater Bypass, Subwoofer Output and balanced XLR jacks.
