Re: VSM-M with stingray

I think you are correct, however the Stingray delivers a big stage, nice dynamics, and rather musical presentation that is surprisingly satisifying on the VSMs. Considering the price, the Stingray (with triode/ultralinear switch whcih I highly reccomend) does a number of things quite well, otherwise you have to look at integrateds in the $3.5K+ price range from which there are a number of very nice tube units to choose from.

As to a SET amps on VSMs.... they can do many nice things: Large palpable stage and imaging, wonderful body and tone when done right. (I do not sell any currently, but I think the Wavelength Audio are some of the best out there... I find certain WAVAC and old Audio Note units sound pretty nice). Though many can and do live with them happily, I do not think they are the ultimate solution for the VSMs though... for me OTLs are the ticket. They delivery the power, dyanamics, nauace, purity of tone etc etc that can really show what the VSMs are capable of.

Happy Listening,
