SS amps for merlin vsm

weekend
I auditioned Primare 30.1 integrated and simaudio moon w3 with Modwright pre in my room ....

Primare sound was close to Ars Fila, something almost like fila with more power...I would have confused if given a chance to pick one between these two, since i already have fila theres no point buying primare...in close comparison Fila Outperforms...Bass is fuller in fila compared to primare

Then it was Modwright pre and moon power...sound was smooth,not bright, bass was toooo tight and not full..Overall it was very good, but fila was better...

I think my ears and merlin are tunned for tubes

So there ends the agressive search for SS amps for Merlin

thank you for all the sincere inputs

now let me have a look on Berning ZH 270

I was thinking musical fidelity amps have a lower damping factor (150 to 220) compared to many solid state class AB amps...and that should match merlins

but 'miker' observed valves better than M Fidelity

So i am not wasting time on that... thanx, miker :)

Hi, I actually enjoy the Wadia 151 with my MAster TSM amazingly!

I tried musical fidelity A5 (low damping factor) power amp with modwright valve pre amp and the sound was really very good

tried A5 integrated amp also.... didint like harmonics

Third the TAD Hibachi monoblocks. Simply astounding performance for the money. Sweet, detailed and dynamic.
