Since no one else has, I'll nominate any amp designed and hand-made by Roger Modjeski at Music Reference. Not that his RM-9, RM-10, RM-200, and his new low-power single-ended and OTL amps are THE best (IS there such a thing?), but they are well designed and built, last a long time with no cases of bursting into flames as some even much more highly priced tube amps have, and sound great. Ask anyone who has one!
Who makes the highest quality tube amps?
One scale of 1-10, 10 being best designed and constructed technically, personal sound preferences aside, who are the 8s, 9s, and 10s?
VAC, ARC, Atmasphere would seem like likely candidates I can think of. Are they ?
Where does Decware rank? Rogue? How about others?
SOme technical facts to help support any claims is appreciated please.
Durability and reliability matters to me here as much as anything. I would want my tube gear to continue to work as reliably as designed years down the road as well as up front.
THanks.
Thanks.
