My new favorite amp (pic)




I've had this Sound Quest SQ84V2 for awhile. It's a 15wpc tube integrated that is often used as a dedicated headphone amp.

I'm using mine to run Sennheiser HD800's and the combination is quite special.

I recently put it in my main system driving my Harbeth P3ESR's. I'm using my Rogue Perseus pre-amp, so the Sound Quest is just being used as a power amp.

Yeah, 15 wpc. Not tons of volume, and it won't turn your listening room into a Black Sabbath concert. But within reasonable limits the sound quality on this thing is amazing. It's my new favorite amp. I listen to a lot of classical guitar and string quartets and this really puts me in the room with the performer.

Stephen at Sound Quest tells me they are working on a 'power amp only' version of this for later this year. Can't wait to see/hear what they come up with.
