Japanese tube amps. Wavac, Air Tight, Audio Tekne, Komuro etc.


Who is familiar with them ? Just curious. They are never discussed on Audiogon. Japanese understand how to work with tubes as well, I heard.

Yes, many high end brands are not discussed here or discussed very little. I don't know why. I can understand that not many have one of those Japanese amps or Nagra but still. Even VAC and Lamm are rarely talked about. Accuphase, Gryphon, Soulution etc, - sometimes but again not much. They are all expensive and very expensive equipment, of course, but I don't think that's the main reason.

jayossi13, Air Tight and Harbeth is an unexpected match, I haven't heard of anyone with this set up.

larryi, that's definitely hard way, a bit sad.

Yes, I just forgot to mention the brands that you did.

Japanese tube amplification deserves most serious attention.

I remember, there used to be a dealer in Virginia called Hi-Fi Farm who had many exotic and rare brands, including some Japanese.
