I agree with the Bedini 25/25..... Very similar would be the Sumo Nine if you can find one properly refurbished. (60 watts) With a parts upgrade the old Sumo's sing.
Low Watt Solid State Amp
I am a tube guy. Have been for the last 20 years. I have various tube amps that I rotate depending on my mood. More recently, I have had the urge to add a solid state amp to the rotation. Looking for something clean, detailed, natural sounding that is in the neighborhood of 20 to 50 watts. I use a deHavilland Ultraverve 3 preamp with relatively high efficiency Tonian Lab speakers. Firstwatt comes to mind but is higher than I want to spend right now. Budget is about $1,000. Looking for a diamond in the rough kinda piece. For example, one of the tube amps that puts a smile on my face every time I plug it in is my Dynaco ST-35 -- not a huge investment, but just always sounds right. Any ideas are much appreciated. Thanks

Hi Very curious about DIY First Watt F6. Also, this was released, but is sadly sold out already. https://diyaudiostore.com/products/amp-camp-amp-kit?variant=7072933085218 The F6, from all accounts, is amazing. And, you can go as crazy as you want with caps/transformers in the DIY kit. |
