Which SS amplifier has similar sound as the LTA amplifiers?....
Interested in buying an amp that has detail and transparency and at same time some qualities and characteristics of tube amplifiers. I do not want to deal with tubes anymore (heat and maintenance) Thanks, Dan
There is no SS amp in your price range that can match an LTA offering. My CODA #16 comes closest but at 13K. My ZOTL40 is a care free, maintenance free amp. The tubes in it will probably outlast me. I would check out the used market.
There’s a used Valvet E2 available here for $1850. It’s Class A, but it’s small so isn’t as much of a space heater as the larger, more powerful beasts out there. Read the reviews if you haven’t. Best of luck.
