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.

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.

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

@inna 

I found four systems, including my own, that have Air Tight paired with Harbeth. It's everything you'd expect from a good tube setup. 

Here's my system: https://www.audiogon.com/systems/6378

I asked audio store owner , I ask Him what tube amp He will buy for Himself. He said Airtight , He then commented they just know what they are doing.Maybe Japanese tube stuff are pricey why they don’t discuss it here.
