Thanks, I hadn’t thought of T+A. I’ll try and find a dealer I can audition one with
endgame Amp for my Audiovector R3 Arrete
Hi all!
Before driving across Holland to do some listening sessions with my shortlist I was curious if anyone here has some experience with my shortlist of int Amps (in combination with Audiovector R3 would be nice)
These amps on my shortlist all carry the same pricetag more or less here in holland (14 / 15K euro)
Esoteric F03A
Accuphase E800
T+A PA 3100HV
Vitus Audio RI101 MK2
US brands are expensive here and hard on support, so no Pass Labs, Boulder etc.
After all my research online and some listening sessions with Dynaudio speakers I think Class A is nice/sweet so im learning toward the first two. The Accuphase has more power on paper (50) vs de 30 of the Esoteric. When it comes to looks I like the Esoteric much better.... not as bulky and I like silver better than champagne. I know this is about audio quality but I like to take looks a little bit into consideration as well ;-)
What would you advice as the price tag is similar access all four?
Thanks for your time!
