Tube virgin looking for tube amp under $3k
@ larshepping Some of those other amps on your list besides the Quicksilver will need a preamp or a passive input selector. If 20 watts is enough power Quicksilver makes a nice integrated amp for 2 grand. Integrated Amplifier – Quicksilver Audio |
The problem with adding a budget like 3k AND wanting pre and amps, gonna get pretty tight pretty quick..For SUPER sound. VTL, Luxman, and Mcintosh. Mac, though.. you'll look long and hard to get happy with 3k in your pocket.. Gear like Ravin, Atmasphere, certain Carys, mercy if you could spring for that.. you would be WAY ahead.. Your starting close to the top for quality.. 20 year gear... Bob Latino ST-70, Good gear, old gear.. you have to do a few things to stop them from going through valves..Not expensive, BUT there will be maintenance.. SQ? El34s, Where is the bass? I'm telling you.. 6L6 or KT88 valves.. unless your gonna go SS for the bass portion on your speakers.. Fruit for thought.. Regards |
