Wavac Audio amps

own them, love them...which model do you have in mind ?

My friend has one great sounding amp.

No, not ever going to get it, I guess. Simply interested. Is it really as great as presented?

My Wavacs will be my last amp period. They are everything and more than I wanted.  May not float everyone's boat

Sunnyboy1956, what did you compare it to and what speakers and cables do you use with it ?

TBH a demo of the top of the range Wavacs is rare but not impossible. I spent nearly a year researching the Wavacs, comparing notes with owners but bought without an actual demo. I am not disappointed. With  150wpc SET class A, they work superbly with my 89db efficient Rockport Aviors using Audiomica speaker cables.
Hope this helps

I had 3 over the years once bought a used one off the gon and it failed I inquired about having it repaired fully expecting to pay since amp was used so sent it in next thing I know I get a email from WAVAC and they sent me a brand new amp I also enjoyed the sound quality. But thought I would mention that I received beyond what is required for support.

Do these pieces still hold up in standard to the lofty perch they used to claim (or maybe still do?)
Have other amp builders like Audionote Line magnetics or others caught up with them sonically. I see they mostly compared with Kondo gear. Because I have never heard one of these amps I wondered if the mystique lived up to the sonics. I was looking at pictures of the older PR T1 and wondered how it would fare against a used CJ Gat or other preamps that would sell used in about the same price range?
