Audio Research, AYON and Primaluna tube amplifiers.


Hello Agoners,

May I ask how would these 3 companies stand out from each others?

Can we rank them as for:

1. Sound quality

2. Performance

3. Reliable

4. Reputation.

5. Service and support

6. Resell value.

I’m still very new to tube amps and only had Cayin A-88T and VTL ST-150 in the past.

I have Audio Research, LA audio (no longer in business), Shanling, and Cary Audio. Cary CAD is 60 watts pure class A stereo tube amplifier and I personally like it the best of my tube tube amps. I thought about upgrading to another tube amplifier (Ayon Audio, Allnic Audio, or Atma Sphere) all class A amplifiers, but not sure it's worth the money.
