Already using a Klyne Linesstage and a Zanden Phono Would like a nice combination regarding the Amplifiers. I have tried the Goldmund 18.4 Thinking of ASR- Possibly Lamm Would like to stay with a Solid State AMP Jeffrey
After some time with a couple of Cello Encore 150 I understood they are the best "home" amplifier design by this people. Tom (RIP) and Paul, now Viola Audio Labs, keep the essential sound but less analytic and sweeter.
Using a White Flame, I've had good results with Tom Colangelo/Paul Jayson's designs - originally the Cello Performance, and later the Viola Bravo. But keep in mind that these amps have enough power to fry the drivers if one is not careful. On one occasion we had DC from a source component, and turning on the power amps blew out one of the bass drivers and fractured the diaphragm as though it was made from eggshell rather than ceramic ;-).
