VAC is good but I'm a long time c-j fan. That said, if your speakers are at all efficient, Conrad-Johnson has just introduced a new super premium Class A amplifier the ART27A. 36WPC at 4 ohms. Just traded my relatively new ART150s in on it. Ten minutes of better dynamics, detail and timber convinced me to make the change. Plenty of power for my Wilson Yvettes in a big room.
The best tube poweramp. . What do you think about ?
I’ve now a VAC phi 300.1. I’m very satisfied with this poweramp. What do you think , and do you have another option ?
my set consists of: Audio Note Cd Two II , Metronome technologie C6 , Daniël Hertz M6L: and the Ilumnia Magister MKII speakers. ( look at : ilumnia.be ). Thanks a lot for the reactions!

Decware, VAC, Quicksilver, and yes Raven all make wonderful Tube Power Amps and Integrated. Also consider Audio Hungary https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2020/07/17/audio-hungary-qualiton-apx-200-vacuum-tube-stereo-power-am... And Border Patrol. |
I have NY Audiolab Futterman OTLs. Rarer than hen’s teeth. Easier to find than the ones built by Julius, which are rarer than rocking horse s^#*. Jon Specter, cousin of Al Kooper and former NY Audiolab technician, converted them from pentode to triode for me, upgraded all the caps to Jensen foil oil audiograde with help from George Kaye of Moscode, also a NY Audiolabs alumni. I drive a pair of very efficient Altec Lansing 604Cs, (I rebuild them every 10 years, I have a choice of 8 or 16 ohms, I keep them at 16 ohms at Jon Specter’s recommendation), 101 db efficiency. I couldn’t be happier. I can find you a pair of NY Audiolab Futtermans. PM me. theaudioatticvinylsundays.com |
