| Thrift store finds. Yamaha ca-600 integrated amp updateFor what these go for used, they're a no brainer. No, I have not sold mine,it sits like a wallflower in the basement as a back up.

| Pass Labs Aleph 3 vs Antique Sound Lab AQ1001 DT HelloI have the power amp version of the AQ1001DT, it's a good amp, but its sister the AQ1003 is way better in my opinion.It does sounds no SS amp can.

| Antique Sound Labs AQ1003DT opinions wanted Follow up:I bought the amp and it's VERY good. I think it's around a 2000 or 01 model.The tubes I'm using are EH 12ua7 for the small tubes and SEDs for the el34's (among others) This amplifier has a great dark quality to it,kind of like the 3020,i... | |

| Looking for a great el34 based amp I notice Quicksilver mid monos,But I have no Idea what they're like. I don't want a tube amp that sound like really good solid state.I want the real life liquid sound of tubes. Ive never heard really good vintage tubes,but thats most likely what I... | |
