Triode TRV A300SER Integrated

Hi Charles1dad,

My first review in a series should come out in the next couple of months. So far the Melody 300b is the most beautiful sounding amp I might have ever had in my house! It's out performing my preamp and mono-blocks that retail for over 35k. Amazing indeed.

I'm a serious lover of acoustic jazz and music via my 300b amp is the most
natural and realistic I''ve ever heard. I use the sublime Takatsuki 300b
tube. I look forward to your review.
Regards,

So again any direct reviews or thoughts on the product mentioned? Teejay, would love to know your thoughts on this TRI amp if you have reviewed it or heard it.....I hear good things about the Melody but this A300SER has specific features which I want, built in mm phono-stage and headphone jack.

It looks very well thought out and built but still wanted to know people's first hand experience.

Teajay,
I am somewhat uneducated to your preferences and writings but I seem to remember reading one of your reviews where you stated you are not really a 'tube guy."
Is this true? and if so, that speaks volumes for this amp from a SS guy...
I guess hearing a review of a tube amp from a SS guy writing to the HT crowd, I am wondering how much experience you have with tubes?
I have no angle here, just don't know your reviews and experience... Would you consider yourself more HT based and getting into reviewing tubes now?
Thanks

Ultimately it`s a matter of trusting your ears rather than being a SS or tube guy. Given the type of music Teajay listens to it relies heavily on natural tone and harmonics to make it sound realistic.When you hear those acoustic(mostly) instruments in the hands of jazz greats,you`ll know when it sounds right.
Regards,
