"END GAME" ???
The phrase seems to be paradoxical to the interests of people on this forum.
Either I do not understand what the words are intended to mean, or another term is needed for what this is. Maybe "Holy Grail" is closer to the truth.
???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard???
Pretty simple question..
While I’m sure the "No Such Thing" crowd will make sure they represent,I’m not interested in their rhetoric..
I am however,most interested to hear from those who have heard integrated amplifiers they could get off the merry go round with,ESPECIALLY if it was on the more budget end of cost..For myself it would have to be the Sugden A21SE but that was 2 years ago,before the cost climbed to $4000.00......
Thanks for participating..

Depending on your speakers a true end game amplifier that you wouldn't want or need to ever upgrade is the SE84UFO25 by Decware. Two of the most musical watts out there. The Decware owner actually made the first amp for himself as a state of the art SET amplifier. It turned out so good that he offered at over three times the cost of the SE84UFO and now the Decware backlog is an over three year wait time. It's a niche product for people with speakers in the 100DB sensitivity range but is truly a piece of equipment that you can inexpensively tube roll and tune for the specific sound characteristic you desire. |
I agree with you @danager! Those willing to DIY can bypass the waiting list and build their own with a printed circuit board and instructions from Steve Deckert for only $45. https://www.decware.com/newsite/SE84CDIY.htm the whole project cost me a bit under $600 a few years ago. |
