Wouldn't it be nice if it were true? Then again, it just may be! Anyone own one? 10Audio has very nice review out. My only attempt to replace my 300B amp with a SS amp was with the First Watt M2. Close but not quite. Any other First Watt iterations to consider? The Pass labs XA30 is more than I want to spend. The $2999 for the Valvet is pretty much my ceiling. Schiit Audio will be introducing the Aegir amp. 20 watt/8 ohm with the first 10 watts in Class A all for $799.
Using a Jeff Rowland SS pre with mine. I have used them with Sonic Frontiers pre as well & it is "warmer" with that pre. Not sure if I'd call that a "real" tube preamp though since it only has one tube in it. The E1r's sound great with both of those preamps BTW.
