I recommend the David Berning MicroZotl. It is a 1 watt(rated at 4ohms) little jewel of an OTL(output transformerless) amp which has a volume control which allows it to be used like an integrated with only one input. You must use high efficiency speakers(95db+) to get high volume but my system plays as loud as I ever really need it to(It won't raise the roof.) The detail, purity, and musicality is fantastic and the bass response will really surprise you. With NOS tubes, it is unbelievable! Retail direct from mfr. only is $750. It is a steal, with sound quality as good as amps 10 times the price.But, you HAVE to have high efficiency speakers.
My first tube amp! HELP PLEASE!
Hello to everyone in audioland! Well I have decided to get into tubes after being into audio for about 7 years. I want to start with an integrated amp to make things very simple. My price range is 700-1000. So give me some good leads! New or used, classic or modern. It dosen't matter just guide me toward bang for the buck. Thanks
