I believe that the likelihood of sonic success pairing the Supratek DHT preamplifier and the Yamamoto power amplifier is very high. In addition it in my opinion is quite cost effective given the sound quality I believe that will be achieved.

Audio Note Power Amps
Hi guys, looking for some advice on my search for an SET amp.
I currently have a Supratek DHT pre which is connected to a First Watt SIT-2. I listen to mainly vocals, acoustics, orchestral and small ensemble kind of music. Rock, heavy metal type of music aren’t my cup of tea.
My current system sounds really good but I’m looking to add an SET power amp to my system to try a different flavour and to see whether I would like to keep the SIT-2 or the SET amp or maybe even both.
I am currently looking at the Yamamoto A-03S and some Audio Note power amps. I mentioned to a friend, who deals in high-end used equipment, that I’m looking for an Audio Note power-amp to mate with my Supratek and he straight out told me that based on his experience with a myriad of AN equipment, if I’m getting an AN power-amp then I should pair it with an AN pre or just get an AN integrated and that AN equipment doesn’t mix well with other brands.
Anyone here can advice whether the above statement hold any water? Not that I don’t believe my friend but I would like to hear from those in the community more experienced with AN equipment whether his statement is accurate in any way, which will help me decide how I proceed.
Thanks

@wenhaw yes, i was referring to impedance. With an output impedance of 150 ohms your pre should drive anything tube and virtually anything.solid state. |
@charles1dad This is my thoughts as well. I can always arrange a home trial later with the local AN dealer. No way am I buying with a demo in my system with the prices AN is charging.
@pesky_wabbit Thanks for the clarification |
