I, like many others here have owned many amps, both SS and tubes. Way to many to mention but most of the top brands. For me tube amps are the only way to go. There are a number of good tube amps and a few great ones. In my opinion the Aronov's are one of the great ones and will serve you well for many years. After so many amps I found the Aronov LS 960 to be the one for me. As others have stated, like a Jadis with bass! Those that own them seldom let them go and will sing their praises if asked. Great for tube rolling as well as the LS 960's can take 6550, KT88's or KT90's and are self biasing.
Entry level tube amp to try
Sometime this spring I'll be upgrading, and I would like to hear what the "tube" sound is like. I currently have a rotel rb1080/krell krc-3 pre combo which I'm somewhat happy with, but I would like a fuller sound with more body.
I was thinking of getting an anthem amp-1 to try,just to get a feeling of what tubes sound like,but would like some input if this would give me a fair idea of the different type sound you get from tubes. Then when I upgrade, I'll no whether I might want to go tube or s.s.
I don't want to go demo anything at a retail store,because I'll probably buy here. thanks for any help
