Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

Looking at what's currently easily available, I was reminded once again how desparate the SS amp situation has become.  Of the offerings I saw, I might consider (in no order of "preference") Halcro, Herron, Edge, Ayre, Lamm, or the Pass Aleph, although I think the latter might not have enough grunt for your application.  Anyway, a particular selection from one of these guys might at least give you something to start working with.  The early Sony Japan-made "Esprit" amps are very nice; but also hard to find, and might need some work.  And yes, the VACs are all tubed; sorry.  I thought any old PP would do as long as it "worked" out of the box and sounded OK FR...

I really would not know where to start with most of the crap out there, since most commercial SS sounds like it makes "music" by inhaling it.  But I've heard "acceptable" units from those listed, albeit in some poor environments in some cases.

Best regards,
Paul S
