Power Amplifiers

I've been using a Krell KST 100 from 1993 with Vandersteen 2 ce. It was a well made and designed amp that still sounds great. Better amps yes but not worth the expense.

Right now a Nikko Alpha 130, Museatex AVC1 running Castle Durham 900’s and soon to be restored Rauna Tyr II’s.  An early LSA/Columbia (Pre Denon) TT, Rotel 855 cd player, Creek phono stage, NAD analog tuner complete the setup

Carver M500t.

IN 1995 I PURCHASED AN AUDIO RESEARCH D-400 MK 2 THAT WAS A STORE DEMO.
I HAVE PLAYED IT ALMOST EVEY DAY SINCE THEN. IT HAS NEVER BEEN SERVICED OR REPAIRED. I USE IT WITH AN ARC REFRENCE 3 S.E. PRE AMP THAT JUST GOT NEW TUBES. THE AMP IS SWEET AND MUSICAL, AND HAS PLENTY OF POWER. BEEN THINKING OF GETTING A NEW REF. 160S AMPLIFIER BUT CANT SEEM TO LET THE OLD ONE GO. IT'S BEEN A REAL PLEASURE OWING IT.

A 2000 Mark Levinson 383, now with New capacitors and service. It Will be with me for the next 15 years too.
