In Reply to: How the sound? posted by T&T on October 13, 2005 at 06:22:28:
as sometimes I took the cover off and turned the lights off when listening with it. The amp looks like a little city on its own with all those tubes glowing it sorta add fuzzy and warm light ambience feelings to the room especially when I am listening to Miles Davis’s Kind of Blue vinyl.The sound in my room is excellent with excellent control on the bottom end with glorious midranges. The highs are a little forgiving than the new VT-200 amp. This is one of the reasons that it sounded so good when pairing it with Thiel speakers. As it will certainly, helps tame the metallic tweeters if the listening room happens to be on the live side. A friend of mine commented one night that the bass response he had heard from this tube amp was excellent with snappy trailing end and that from a guy who owns a Krell driving a Wilson Watt Puppy 6 and B&W 830 Signature speakers.
The downside is it uses a lot of tubes at 32 tubes altogether. So therefore, it uses a lot of electricity to run as well at 400 watts on standby mode and as much as 2000 watts when it is fully driven to its full capacity of 250 watts/channel. The good news is the amp is very stable so you only have to bias them when you replace the power tubes how often are that. Oh somewhere between 4-5 years of course depending on your listening habits.
