You don't need to add this comment to every post you read about your Marantz 1060 and its tube sound. If you don't know the difference between ss and tube sound and don't want to read where some have written about it, just post that question as a thread of your very own instead of adding this to more than one thread throughout AK. Duplicate posting is frowned on and since you have a legitimate question that many might like to participate in answering or at least reading, making your very own thread could be beneficial to many. Roll on over to the General Audio Discussion forum and Post New Thread with your question. You are not alone, others want to know the answer to your query.
