My Audiomat

No problems here. I've had the amp for around eight years, and it's been 100% from day-one. I know several other Audiomat owners who've enjoyed the same reliability.

I've heard the stories about their US distributor, Mutine, but the few times I've emailed them with a question, they've replied promptly and at length. I've also talked with their West Coast service tech Nick Gowan, and he was friendly and informative as well.

Despite the company's insistence on using their proprietary tubes, I'm on my second set of off-the-shelf EL34s - currently quad-matched SED (Svetlana Electrical Devices) Winged-Cs. They sound wonderful, and compare favorably to the Audiomat-badged tubes. I'm still running the three original factory-supplied NOS Sylvania 12AX7 phase inverter/driver tubes, which are said to last for a good 20K hours.

I can highly recommend Audiomat amps for their wonderful musical and sonic performence, as well as their solid build quality, reliability, and support. I've yet to hear another amp, at any price, that tempted me away from the Prelude, and I worshipped at the SET altar for many years before being bowled-over by the Audiomat's rhythmic prowess.
