Sorry for a late reply to my post. Been on family vacation with minimal cell service. I haven't tried tube rolling in the BAT since I want to get away from my three channel Acurus amp and go dedicated two channel. Figured once I upgraded my amp, I would experiment further. I've read some decent reviews on the Usher 1.5 reference SS amp and am considering that as a possibility. My usher speakers were my first recent used purchase into the world of dedicated two channel so not looking to change those out at this time. Thank you for the inputs.
Usher CP-6311 Tube Amp Recommendation
I know everyone has their own thoughts and ideas on any subject and I am probably opening up a "can of worms". I am looking for a tube amplifier recommendation to work well with my Usher CP-6311 speakers. Usher recommends using them with a solid state amp, but I am possibly looking to venture into the world of tubes. My current setup includes: Balanced Audio Technologies (BAT) VK-30 tube preamp, Acurus 100 X 3 solid state amp (remaining from my home theater setup), Thorens TD125 MKII turntable with SME 3009 arm, Acurus CD player, Usher CP-6311 two way speakers. I appreciate your suggestions. Thanks
