There are many good tube amps in the UK and EAR is surely one of them; I lusted for the 509 Mk Is long time ago and the 890 and 534 are great amps. Or what about Border Patrol, if you want something out of the ordinary?
Power amp to match Conrad Johnson Premier17LS
Guys, you've helped before, so some more advise please. My system is:
LP12/Origin Live Silver Taper/Kontapunkt B
ShanlingCDT-100
CreekT43 tuner
CJ Premier17LS pre
Pass labs Aleph 3 power
Living Voice Avatar speakers
Acoustic Zen cables
I enjoy most musical styles, Classical especially Opera. Singer Songwriters, Alt Country, Blues and Folk. I am really pleased with the sound I'm getting, I like the low power/Class A amp with sensitive speakers route. The sound is detailed non fatiguing with a good soundstage. So why change? why indeed. As others have commented, none of us can rest with what we have, it just needs to be a little better.
Basically, if I go for a good tube power amp, the Conrad Johnson MV60SE, seems the obvious choice or a pair of 300B monoblocks, is it going to blow my socks off. In the UK, getting to audition the MV60, is'nt easy, so advise would be welcome
