Well very few people ask for my opinion. Since you have I won't disappoint. I would look for speakers more tube friendly. Ref 3A's for example. Once that has been done you can then look for the best amp to drive them.
Too many tube amps
Filed under what would you do.
I recently came across a deal too good to pass up on a Rogue Cronus Magnum I.
I really wasn't looking, but. So here is my dilemma.
Two systems, main system Focal 1008be2, VPI HW-19 mk3, Mac mini, Schiit Bifrost. Yaqin 100b KT88 amp.
Second system, Focal 714, Bluesound Node2, Jolida 502a(Maryland)
Which amp do I sell? I've moded the Yaqin with upgraded coupling caps and Alps black volume pot.
The Jolida is stock, though I was going to start changing caps and resistors.
The Cronus is staying in the main system, that's for sure, sounds fantastic.
I'll be trying out the Yaqin in place of the Jolida soon, so I'll be able to hear the differences.
But I wanted to get some of your opinions.
thanks
