In Reply to: RE: Decent Amp.. posted by bare on March 02, 2016 at 19:17:46
Hello Bare,
Thanks for a helpful response. I have been considering an SS amplifer, the specs of which are given below. Since I am not a technical person, would you have a look as to suitability. Taken from the website Valvet A1r class A mono blocks.
Specifications
amplification: 25 Watts into 8 Ohms, 40 Watts into 4 Ohms, Class A
transformer: 80VA each mono-block
filtering: 60,000 μF filtering each mono-block
dimensions: 120 x 60 x 400 mm (4.7 x 2.3 x 15.7 inches) WxHxD each mono-block
case: Black or silver anodized, solid extruded aluminum profiles

Hello Bare,
I took your suggestions seriously and went about looking for a more powerful class A amp. Had to book it without listening, but the specs and reviews are favourable. The company is called Xindak (Chinese) and it's their top integrated model (A600E). 60 watts in Class a at 8 Ohms, and 160 in AB, which doubles into 320 at 4 Ohms. Hig current output with Peak current for each channel being 68 Amps and 240000 uf filtering capacitance.
It will be a change from the Leben for sure! Hoping my Bruckner will finally come to life.

Not something I would use MY $$ for.
An 80VA Transformer is erm Laughable to be uncharitable
My mono blocks have twin 400Va torroids.
Big Deal :-) they cost 50$ each.. Retail!.
Have owned Meshplate se45's Nice qualities for sure.
but as powerful/dynamic as Mice on My 94 DB drivers.
Even a decent NAD (power envelope type) Amp could surprise you.
The exotic is often Illusory and inarguably overhyped.
But in a few more decades of sailing the Audio Weenies Seas.. you might come to the same observations.
G 'luck
Not familiar with the amp mentioned, but going from a 15 watt tube amp to a 25 watt solid state amp doesn't seem like much of a step up if you need more power. I guess only an audition will let you know. If you like the SET sound and want more slam, consider the 845 based Line Magnetic 518ia. Don't let the 22 watt rating fool you. Excellent bass drive and control.
