In the recent years I have as a result of experiences had been left with information that has been indelible and enforced a rethink a out my lomg term commitment to Valves used in the Audio System.
In a non owned system depending on how it is heard assembled, when with Soulution Amp's is approx $200K.
Listening to this system as above and subsequently using 211 Valve Power Amp's was of real interest, as either was an exception experience.
Subsequent to experiencing the above, a SS Neurochrome Power Amp' was put into service.
An Amp' cost 25 x less than Soulution and 12 x less than the 211 Valve design.
The SS N'chrome was very very special it was not only parity in good impression made, as a voicing it was as attractive as a Valve Amp', but not a Valve mimic End Sound.
I have been instrumental in others adopting SS N'chrome Amp's, where to date I have heard all Models and Modified Designs as well.
These have been heard in a range of systems where other SS Amp's or Valve Amp's are in use. Speakers used with the N'chrome are ranging as £70K Field Coil Horns - Quad ESL' s various models - Cabinet Speakers up to £15K.
Never has the N'chrome not shown how impressive it is at aiding a Speaker produce a impressive End Sound.
My own System is using 845 PP Mono blocks and a SET 300b.
A SS N'chrome amp' is now loaned to me and to be used in the owned system.
This can be used with a Analogue and Digital Source, along with three different Speaker types.
Using prior experiences, I remain very confident very good impression will be made with either Source and selected speaker.
