Hi guys, a tube amp for my micro utopia be

Hi Saviourwin, if you're looking for a beautifully built, reliable & nice sounding tube amps which will amply drive your Micro be's have a look at Ayon's class a tube amp which are beautifully built & made in Austria, or there is a Leben Cs-660p tube amp for sale on AG at the moment for about $6k (40watt stereo). I personally really like Leben's CS600 integrated amp (32watt stereo) if you wanted to go down the integrated path. There are a couple for sale on AG for about $3.5k. Have a read of the reviews of that amp, they really are a terrific value. Hope that helps!

Could be Marakenetz, it depends on space, budget and personal preferences..

Hi Saviourwin, in respect of the Jadis DA88s, before thinking seriously about that option, first have a read of a service report from renowned Audio Engineer Dallas Clarke (www.clarkeaudio.com). Once on the site, click on the "service" menu option, then scroll down to the write up entitled "Defy Logic". Enough said. In regard to Cary, I dont know a lot about their gear, however if considering a 15 watt SE triode amp, also have a look at a terrific amp which Dallas designed in consultation with Vactron in Australia - the KT88SEB. The KT88SEB is a 15 watt pure class a SE triode with some pretty hefty trannys on board ($4k new w/5 yr warranty). You'd be ordering from Australia, but the US dollar is stronger to the AU & Dallas's work is superb. He has been working on tube amp designs for over 20 years. (I offer the disclaimer that I know Dallas, but I can unoquivicolly recommend his work & great service).
The Cary six packs look like a bargain & obviously have more power, so no surprise it's a class a/b design at that pricepoint. I dont have any personal experience with them however. I couldn't find any information on the MC2775. Is that a Mcintosh?

Marakanetz, agreed. High quality headphone amps come up for sale for reasonable prices regularly on AG. Choose an amp regardless of whether a headphone amp is onboard. What is your budget & power requirements?

Hi Saviourwin, personaly, I think 15 watts is a bit lean to drive your Focals. There is a Vac Renaissance 70/70 on AG at the moment for about $4k which was a $16k amp and looks stunning. The Vac will give you plenty of power & wonderful tone. If you're looking for more speed and bandwidth to bring out the potential in your Focals, then look at Ayon's Class A amps which fit that bill (eg: Spirit 2). I would have put Vac's current line in the same category (ie: fast, detailed), but that's out of your price range. Overall, I would rate Vac or Ayon higher than Cary given your budget.
