Tube Amp Suggestions


I have had the audio affliction for about 10 years. I am finally ready to venture into the world of tube amps and would appreciate any ideas my fellow audiophiles might have. My current set up is theta basic II with a camelot uther IV going directly into a pass labs aleph 5 and audio physic virgo II speakers. All wiring is tara labs air 1. Budget is $2,000 to 3,000 new or used.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Didactically, here's one that you would love regardless of what the actual THD spec is.

Atma-Sphere M-60

You would be very happy with their bass performance as well provided they are paired with a suitable speaker/cable combination.
I am not sure about the pairing with your speakers, but Atma-Sphere M-60's have done the trick for me.
Didactically, you are pretty emotionally involved in a debate that many, like myself, didn't even realize was still an issue with anyone.

As for your perspective, it is more like a sledge hammer missing its mark than a pin popping anyone's preferences. I did enjoy your last analogy, but don't see it as being applicable in any sense.
Quote: So why keep clicking on them, taking the trouble to read them, only to further bother to write critical, condescening, and insulting remarks.

Didactically, if you are referring to me, I apologize for any remarks construed to be insulting. Also, I didn't understand your reference "...why keep clicking on them, taking the trouble to read them."

Quote: What is that about.

Again, I am confused as to the context of your questions. I am not sure as to "who" or "what" your questions refer to.

On a different note, how much distortion do your speakers produce? Is it less than your minimum standard of 0.1?
