Well here it is: I finally got my Cain Abby's three months ago and they are completely broken in (800+ hours). Now it's finally time to try out some different preamp/amps. After talking to Terry (Cain) and since no amp seems perfect for my musical tastes (everything from World, Jazz, Rock), I am currently looking at getting two different amps for different moods with a matching preamp:
Fi Y preamp
SET amps:
(intended for low volume, relaxed listening sessions)
Bottlehead S.E.X. amp (already got it, but it is still not quite finished)
Fi X amp (planned for sometime in the future, fits 2A3 and 45 tubes, just love the looks)
Solid State:
(for more bottom end control, and a fast, tight sound)
First Watt F1
Any comments, experiences, recommendations?
The rest of my system...(just replaced the Super 3 with Abby's)
Well, thanks already in advance for all your help.
Best wishes,
Rene
