Head-ups for fans of AricAudio designs. His new Super 211 SET two chassis amplifier


Many of you who own some of Aric's preamps/amplifiers already know what a talented designer and master builder he is of great tube gear.  I'll be getting in a few days his first two chassis reference 211 based SET amplifier for a review for Six Moons.com.  He went all out in both design and parts quality in this new creation.  Based on my past experiences with his gear, this is something that might be very special, indeed.  My two favorite power tubes in SET amps are 2A3's and 211's. You can also use 845's in this amplifier.

I have just spent five hours listening to Aric's ultimate SET dual chassis 211 amplifier and have to say that I have found it mesmerizing experience. 

It delivered maybe the best taut, deep, tuneful bass that I have heard from a tube based amplifier.  It's overall macro-dynamics and punch could fool into thinking it was a much more powerful P/P design.  Yet, the 211 in a SET circuit gives you the timbre beauty and "inside glow" like a 2A3 tube but with even a bigger more accurate sound-stage, "meat on the bones" imaging, and a sweet/sparkly top end.  You can also use 845 tubes, which I'll try later.  

If you are a lover of SET amplifiers, you might want to consider auditioning this new super amplifier from Aric's stable of amplifiers.  This will be a fun review for me to write, indeed.
Hey Guys,
I'm a lucky S.O.B. in that I get to hear so many wonderful pieces of audio gear because of doing professional reviews. Listening to this amplifier is turning out to a special experience.  It is hard for me to pull myself away from listening to my system with the SET 211 amplifier powering it.  It offers such dynamic power and control with the beautiful colors/tonality and pureness of the best SET amplifiers I have ever heard.  There is no "BEST" in audio, many great pieces/personal taste, however, this ranks at the very top level of performance and how much you would have to spend to exceed it's performance, if you could, would cost ungodly amounts of $.
Hey grannyring,

With your taste for well built artisan pieces of gear, you will get a kick out of what Aric has done in the design and construction of this masterpiece of an amplifier. Hope you get pictures of the inside soon and one day get to hear this piece.   
Hey sptwriter,

As of today have now tried this amp with the PS, Moab, and Ulf's all with superlative results.
Thanks David,

Well after my next review on the Moab, I have the reference NSMT speaker lined up to come in for the reviewing process. I'll work on using some variety of different types of music to use in the process.  

Thanks for your kind words.
Hey Gentlemen,

The review on the Super 211 SET amplifier just went live on Six Moons, com.  Hope you all enjoy it, gives many details why this a superlative amplifier and has brought me in the process of reviewing hours of delight and pleasure.
Hey everybody,

Just wanted to share that the review Super SET 211 demo has just been purchased by Toska Audio located in Highland Park, IL.  If you live in this area I strongly suggest you drop by to hear this superlative amplifier.  The owners, Pete and Pat, have some beautiful speakers to match up perfectly with Aric's creation.
