Opinoins on SS.amps.

Hi,I had tube amp and sold.I now own a simaudio 4150se amp and it does a very good job.Would like a little bit of a tube sound but have the low end control I now enjoy as well as the upper end extention.I enjoy detail and natural sound from voicing and instruments.I have ML-Prodigy's and play alot of Jazz fusion as well as old rock and female vocals.I have read alot of good about the Plinius equipt that seems to fit this discription,any opinions are appreaciated,Thanks Bob

I have an Ayre V-5x that replaced an Ayre V-3 & I mention that as anytime somebody (not just myself) sticks with the same brand that says something about the product.

I also have a Pass pre in my system & although you can get 100 opinions here, to make yourself happy you have to listen to it in your system to make the final decision. Sometimes that requires buying the piece you're interested in & then having to resell it because it didn't work out.

I mention the Ayre V-5x as we share similar musical tastes although I'm more female vocal & rock oriented but am building my jazz collection. Good luck with your search.

Bobf,

I've used the old stand-by tube pre- and SS power for years and years. Perhaps I'll buy a SS pre- for comparison sometime soon. I've always enjoyed the tube warmth the pre- adds to the solid state power and control.
