Avantgarde Duo 2.2 Amplifier Match.


Hi all,
I'm currently running my duos with an Arc VT100mk11. It sounds very nice after a bit af wailing and Gnashing of teeth at the start(I had tube problems at first). Anyway, I'd like to try the Lunatic Fringe that is SET's. Has anyone tried the Yamamoto A-08s with the Duos. I'd be very interested if anyone has. It seems to be very good value for money at around 2,200 usd. I'm probably just going to order one without hearing it. So if anyone thinks that this would be a major mistake then please let me know.

Thanks for your time and advice.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for your posts, I have ordered a Yamamoto direct from Yamamoto-san in Japan. It seems a very interesting way to go. I'd love to try the Audiopax amps too but dollar for dollar the Yammy seems like considerable value. From your posts it appears that the set A-08s will bring me a considerable change in my system over the vt100 hopefully for the good.

I've heared the 300b Wavac with the Duos the sound was simply stunning (oracle transport/audionote sig 3.1 dac/ audionote pre). But Wavac is not an option because of cost.

I'm told that it'll take about a month to make and ship the yamamoto . I'm salavating allready, cant wait.

I'll let you know how it all goes.

NB the recent stereophile review was of AC fillament model I think. The new A-08s is supposed to be even better. Anyway for around 2.5k I dont think you can go wrong.

Thanks all for your time.
Myron.
