I bought a “summer” amp because I don’t like to use the AC much and my Almarro, with its 6c33c tubes, runs so hot normally that I wanted to save it from burning itself up! Reason I put summer in double quotes is because it was also an excuse for me to buy an amp I’d had years ago but now my speakers are a better match and I’m happy to have it again for a change whatever the season. It’s a red wine audio signature 30.2 lfp-v, runs cool as it is solid state with a (single) tube input stage and a deal at $600.
What integrated would you recommend for summer amp?
Hey all, I'm feeling sinful for running my Primaluna Dialogue HP integrated all summer long. It pumps out modest heat but it does push the A/C to run longer and all that seems wasteful.
Thing is, I want to keep life simple and within my means right now. So, I'm thinking the budget needs to be ~$1k new/used. Here's my setup now:
