Best Values and worst values in SS and tube amps ?


My choices for best value: Most McCormack amplifiers, past and present, in solid state, and Sonic Frontiers for tubes ( although the S/F is still somewhat expensive, it's terrific sound for the money )

Worst values: In my book, most Sim Audio gear regardless of price. Sexy looking and good build, but dry - dark - lifeless sound. Worst value in tubes: Aronov...

How about YOU ?

sonicbeauty.your thread is not bonehead nor without merit.look how many responses have been given.this is what this site is about.some generalities can be made.if one thinks X equipment is sh.t and overrated that's his opinion.it's as valid as anyone else is .what i'm trying to say is;if 90% of the people think mccormack is a good buy for the money,it's a good bet that is true.regardless of the rest of the components.it's threads like yours that get people thinking.better this thread than "should i buy a 500$ power cord or a 1000$ one.thanks for the thread.
sonicbeauty,you don't have to explain to the neanderthals,they probably voted for BUSH.you know,everybody thinks along the same lines.don't have a independent thought...you're upsetting the powers that be.i don't mean to be redundant,but thanks again for this great thread.. pax
