Take a look at the Mastersound compact 845. I have one you might be able to talk me out of.😁
Tube integrated amp recommendations
Now that I have my second system up and running, I'm thinking of getting an all tube integrated for the system. I've been solid state for most (if not all) my audiophile life. I had a tube-preamp with a class D a few years ago but didn't care for it and I sold it off and continued on with my SS reference system. So now I want to try an all tube integrated with my Tekton Lore Reference speakers (96db efficient) and I'm trying to do some research. I know there're a ton of tube folks on here, so you're recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I would like a headphone jack but not a deal breaker. Will be used for streaming/CD. This is what I'm considering so far (budget $3-5k):
1. Audio Research I50 (new release)
2. Luxman Neoclassico SQ-N150
3. Raven Blackhawk MKiii
4. Conrad Johnson CAV45
Thanks so much!

Depending upon your budget and musical preferences, and of course your listening environment, My two top preferences are; - - - - - - - - PRIMA LUNA EVO 400 - either integrated or monoblocks (coupled to their fabulous top rated preamp) - EXPENSIVE but worth every penny Second choice - AYON TITAN MONOBLOCKS In this case if you can afford it, I would unquestionably go with a complete system of AYON components. Virtually world class in every respect - VERY EXPENSIVE but set up with the right speakers; - - the best the world of audio reproduction currently has to offer ! These are both offerings that you will be able to live with for a long time of musical reproduction satisfaction and unrivaled reliability. Naturally, everyone has their opinion, but this is mine !! |
