hello,
I got my 1501rc to replace an arcam a65plus. I run it with sovtek tubes and JmLabs Chorus 706. The tubes really help to smooth out the metal tweeters. In my small bedroom the sound rocked. I listen to all kinds of music and this amp had good bass, decent soundstage, great midrange and highs.
This amp grooves and gets you into the music. It doesnt have the tightest grip on bass but for me its acceptable. What kind of music do you like? Check out Joe's tube FAQ on Audioasylum.com to give you a good idea about some tubes sound.
