Italy's Audio Analogue makes super sweet integrated amps that are very close to my Sony V-Fet amp (now the V-Fet does sound like a tube in harmonic richness; I have the low powered TA-4650 with only two VFET devices per channel and often prefer it even to my all tube Scott 222D it's that good).
SS integrated amp that has tube like qualities
I'm looking for someone who has real experience with several solid state integrated amplifiers that could provide me with a recommendation.
I'm looking for a solid state integrated, if one exists, with a tube like presentation. I mostly listen to male and female vocalists and are looking for an integrated that excells in midrange warmth/bloom, and richness/sweetness, while maintaining sonic clarity.
I believe that the Ayre may meet my expectations, but is a bit expensive even in the used market.
Are there any other less expensive choices? Thanks in advance...
Please do not recommend any class D amplification. I have had several, including the new Wyred and they are not my cup of tea.
