Vocals are terrific using tubes. VAC actually 'sings' (no pun intended) with vocals. The low level resolution of tubes renders the emotion of music incredibly well. Plus, Kevin Hayes' service is terrific.
His latest series of amps is vastly superior to his work even a few years ago. Usually, he has a few used pieces listed on his web site--could offer a savings.
Before buying a name that you are more familiar with, therefore more comfortable, at least try tubes in the system--then (if you haven't already) you'll know what the shouting is all about.
Levinson, IMHO, doesn't offer the same emotional level that great tubes give you--hey, it's worth an audition!
Good Listening,
Larry
