can anyone recommend tube amp for dartzeel preamp?


Hi,

I have the dartzeel preamp and dartzeel amplifier combination and love it. I would like to have the choice of a tube amplifier to use on occasion to give me a different feel/sound. Can anyone recommend a tube amplifier that is synergistic with a dartzeel preamp. I will be using it probably 2/3 for vinyl 1/3 for cd. My speakers are moderately efficient 93db floor standing evolution acoustic mm2 with a powered woofer. I am not looking to break the bank as this tube amplifier would be as a secondary amplifier so am setting a budget for an amp to buy used on audiogon at $3,000. I am thinking something between 50 and 75 watts would probably be right.

thanks

I agree with everyone. I don't think you would be happy unless you get Lamm or current VAC amp.
Don't agree with you. Kevin will tell you his latest amps including the 300.1 sound better than the vintage 300B. The 300.1 does have a triode switch. Class A does not necessarily make it a better amp.
