| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? I have been turned off by owning what should have been a really good sounding amp, the Viva Solista 845 based SET. Yes, it was boring compared to my 300B SET. I sold it quickly and went back to the 300B. I also have owned a good parallel 300B amp.... | |
| Best tube preamplifier for under $15k +1 for the Vinnie RossiHave loved Vinnie’s work since Red a Wine Audio. He really knows what music sounds like and is able to infuse that.My other very high recommendation is Audible Illusions.A rare company that has specialized in only making pre... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Well, my long awaited Tetra 606s arrived yesterday. The big question was if my 9 watts of 300B SET would power them.The most consistent comments have pointed out that there is truly no replacement for the SET sound. However, comments that struck a... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? I actually found an Aleph 3 in Finland. Stereophile went nuts for this amp. https://www.stereophile.com/solidpoweramps/674/index.htmlThink I prefer the 3 over the Aleph 5. My Tetra 606s arrive tomorrow! Think my 300B SETs will push them nicely. Bu... | |

| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? These new speakers, Tetra 606, are my third pair of Tetras. I am convinced IME and by the comments of some of the world's greatest musicians saying slam dunk things. WWW.TetraSpeakers.comIt is very convincing. I do listen to the Tetra designer, Ad... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? The closest, it seems, to the truth is that there are two different paradigms. Jin and Jang??The Valvet E2 SE seems to be the best option yet.I have long admired many German Audio companies. Surely, German engineering has been on the cutting edge ... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Oh... yea "do not think this is possible".Don't know what you mean by isolating my amps? | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Sugden seems interesting. I do love the "BBC" take on audio.But "air and sweetness" or "musicality" and I like "a different paradigm, apples and watermelon". I like watermelon-lot of juice but "an apple a day... ".I don't think there are too many ... | |

| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Thanks shkong,I was interested in your preference for the lowly LM 805 when you have the have the exhaled Silbatone. If you can be satisfied with the LM, they must be very, very musical? | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? My budget for an amp is below $10kish. I have a First Watt M2 and it is nice but I miss the 300B sound. Can’t stand the “linear” sound.I love it “juicy”. | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? If so many people love and live with their SS systems...? | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? I also have thought about looking for a pair of Dehavilland Aires mono blocks with 845s. They talk about how well the can handle even lower sensitivity than my 92 dB Tetras. But I tried a really good 845 based amp, the Viva Solista, and did not li... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Sad to hear about the Leema sounding very SS. The thing that, I think, bothered me the most about SS is the edge and brightness.And, I think, the thing I love most about SETs is the musicality. I heard the Dartzeels are amazing but I can’t afford ... |
