In Reply to: Jim, since you're here, which (tube?) amps do you enjoy playing with? (nt) posted by jusbe on November 12, 2000 at 15:35:59:
We've had a really great time with several, in alphabetical order:Art Audio - Jota, Diavolo, & Symphony
BAT - VK-60 (heard great things about the new VK-75SE, but haven't heard it personally)
Electronic Tonalities - Paraglow (a best buy?)
Lamm - ML2
VivA - Aurora II (with 845), Verona, modified Syntesi
Wavelength - Triton Sigs, Duetto (hearing great things about the Gemini & Mercury, but haven't had one to hear yet).Other amps that have offered a glimpse into SET heaven - Cary 300SE (WE 300Bs), 2A3SE, & Wellborn Labs Laurel (WE 300Bs).
By the way, the designers of these products are all great people. I've enjoyed getting to know some of them this past year.
Haven't heard AirTight, Fi, Wavac, or Wright, although I hope to some day.
Also, the TRON from the UK sounds very interesting, but I don't know what US pricing would be.
Follow Ups:
...and it all seems like great stuff. ET gear seems to be incredible value (and very tweakable) - an important factor since I insist on getting hooked on expensive reissues and vintage vinyl (lately its been the Blue Note RVG 24-bit Japanese remasters; £25 - £30 a pop, and since I discovered them 10 days ago, I already have sixteen!).Art Audio and Tron are very highly regarded over here in the UK; unfortunately, their attendant cost can also be regarded as very high! Another to consider is perhaps the Border Patrol 300B SE amp, with interstage transformers and 3 way valve rectified chokes. Audio lunatics like me have heard of and read extensively about brands such as Wavelength, Viva, Lamm and Wright, but seldom get a chance to hear them.
