Comparison ARC Classic 30 and VT-50

Having owned the Classic 150s and having heard all the VT and Classic series amps on many occasions, I'd say Jafox has pegged the differences just right--the VT series leans a little more to the tube sound virtues, the Classic series a little more to solid state virtues. Both are excellent products, just a matter of which sound you prefer, and the differences are comparatively subtle.

I too appreciated reading the excellent observations and responses to this thread as I also am considering an ARC tube amp. Thanks All, and Cheers. Craig
