After 20 years, in the market for a power amp
Hello:
Longtime lurker/reader of this forum. Recently my long time and beloved Odyssey Khartago shed its left channel and I had been long past ready to move on from it anyway. I am a typically slow upgrader as I am much more a listener than a tweaker. It is therefore time to invest in a new power amp. My system specs:
GoldenEar Triton Ones
Rega P8 TT w/Apheta 3
Aria phono amp
Primaluna Dialogue Premium p/a
Rotel 1570 CD spinning into a Schiit Yggdrasil
Odyssey Khartago Power amp
AntiCable interconnects
AudioQuest speaker cable
The Khartago, while wholly competent, has long since since been bypassed by the rest of my gear. Looking for something with some synergy with the Primaluna.
Budget $5-7k. Been researching feverishly but it is difficult to get an audition. Suggestions?
Orchard Audio is running their StarKrimson ganfet amp on tour. Listen for free in your system for 7 days then ship it to the next person on the list. With 500 watts per channel at 4 ohms there is plenty of power and the dynamics are amazing. It is stabile at 2 ohms and even the electrostatic speakers don't faze it. Contact Leo at Orchard Audio. You have nothing to lose. Thanks, aldnorab |
@pvnasby My Primaluna Dialogue Premium is available for less than half of your budgets lower end. In silver. |
