I've owned multiple amps before, but found I typically just used my favorite of the amps owned at any given time. I still flirt with the idea of adding a solid state amp to the mix to get a different flavor vs. tubes. Too many home improvements to make in the next few years to spend money on audio, so it will have to wait... although I have tried three different varieties of power tubes (EL34, KT77 and KT88's) with my Music Reference RM9 MKII, and am tempted to try GE 6550's.
How many amps do you own?
i am wondering how many folks here own more than one amp. I own a couple of amps...a tube mono block ( Jadis) and a stereo ss Jeff Rowland model 8t ( modded). These two amps give me what I consider to be the best of ss and tubes. i do NOT use the amps in the system at the same time. As such, the system requires two sets of speaker cables and two sets of ic cables. I can run two amps off my preamp. Anyone else have the option of two amps..if so, what are they and why do you run multiples.
