I recently purchased a CODA Technologies 10.5R (discontinued model) that I use with an Audible Illusions tubed preamp. To my ears it sounds fantastic and is very well built. It is 100 watts with the first 25 watts in Class A. I would highly recommend this amp if you can find a used one.
What solid amp to pair with DiaLogue Premium Preamplifier ?
Hi everyone, any input regarding pairing the PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium Preamplifier with a solid state amp 100-200watts in 8ohm ?
My speakers are bbc design 5/9 are said to sound better with power between 100 to 150/200 watts.
What have you guys tried that worked well, I like my music to be musical with as much detail as possible, but without sounding clinical or thin sounding.
Looking forward for some input.

Sorry about not paying attention to your post title. If you decide to go all tubes, the Primaluna/Rogue combo is completely sublime. I liked my Croft tube/mosfet amp better then my solid state Primare and Naim amps. I liked the Rogue Stereo 100 best of all. Think it’s something about it’s huge bandwidth and control of the bass. |
Given what you're looking for, I'd reiterate my McCormack recommendation. Here's a DNA-125 that has plenty of power, and you can always send it to its maker for significant upgrades later on... https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649472706-mccormack-dna125/ Here's a review you might find informative... http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0800/dna125.htm I've been using a DNA-0.5 (with Steve's A revisions) for years, and I'm now looking to pair it with a tubed preamp, which I think will be a sublime combination. Best of luck in whatever you choose. |
