The 47Labs amp which can be used as an integrated amp is the only solid state amp that this tube amp guy can stand, and it is fun to show this tiny amp with it power supply hidden to your friends.
HELP: I need a solid state amp with a tube sound
I am very much into tube amplifiers, but it seems that they need alot more maintenance than SS amps do. Is there an amp out there that will get a good tube sound, but with low maintenance of an SS amp? I am working on my budget and I will probably spend about 2500 for it. I already have a tube pre-amp that I like, a Zen ZTPRE, and does a good job for my needs.
