i have auditioned consonance, audio research, conrad johnson, prima luna and have not heard the classic tube qualities which i associate with tube tube amplifiers of the 80's. the conrad johnson amps from the 80's and 70's do have that romantic and euphonic quality which is unlike the current production amps listed above.
TUBE AMPS-CARY, BAT or VTL
I am looking to add a tube amp to my system. My finalists include:
Cary Audio CAD 120-S
BAT VK55
VTL-150
The rest of my system consists of Prima Luna Prologue 8 CDP, Dodd Audio Preamp, and the Salk SongTower speakers (with the LCY ribbon tweeter). Has anyone auditioned any or all of these amps? I would love to hear your impressions of each unit. Thanks in advance for your responses.
