Amp for Vintage Heresy

Hey All,

I just picked up a pair of Heresy 1s for my home office / creative studio. 

Currently I’m running a WiiM Pro plus to a NAD 316bee. 
It sounds fine but it could be better. needs more Pratt!

 

I listen to classic rock, acoustic and good country and stream on Qobuz,

 

Considering either going vintage (maybe a restored dynamo st-70 , a SET 300b (maybe chinahifi), or something else…

 

like schiit Freya+ and Aegir , push pull el34 or kt88 integrated, or recommend something!

I’m not happy with the WiiM so considering getting a Allo Katana Player  

 

My reference system which I like is Nola Boxer s3, Tsakiridis Aeolos Plus, Schiit Bifrost2, Allo DigiOne Signature, Project Debut Carbon Evo, Projrect Phono

 

 

thanks guys!

Thanks for the advice… anyone ran solid state on Heresey? Like a schiit argue?

I guess the Pass Labs is solid state?

Great feedback!

no I don’t believe they have been updated but they were sold to the owner I purchased them off of from The Turntable Shop in North Van that used to specialize in vintage audio so he might have worked on them.

I will explore restoring the Hereseys after I spend more time with them.

Thanks for the great input. I hadn't considered Luxman integrated tube amp but that could be real nice. I'll hunt around.

I was thinking 300b would be the right match but hearing more comments here about EL84s being better.

Update:
I returned the Wiim Pro Plus and bought a Chord mojo 2 (with my old macbook pro) and will try and clean up the source.
