Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp?


He raved about the Hurricane in the latest TAS.
Anyone with long term experience care to comment?

Hi 914nut......Yes the wait is at least one month. I ordered on set from Lyric Hi-Fi in NYC. They were recommended to me by the distributor in Canada. I happen to know the store (Lyric) and I believe that they would get one of the very first shipments since they are quite reputable. Let's see who else answers this thread?

Hi Mejames......I will do so tomorrow, however, I believe you have the Genesis 200 and from what I understand the 200 watts will work wonderful with Arnies drivers.
yes 200 watts is about enough the VTL 450 working in triode is enough power for the Genesis 201 speakers.
Harry says, in his article, that this is a very simple design (tube). However, it captures the realism of the live orchestra or sound better then anything else.. "The images just appear in space"...."you can hear the ""air"" on the soundstage opening up"....."the retrieval of elusive ambient cues is part of this amplifier's ability to reach well down into the softest part of the recorded range and extract information I didn't know was there"

Only some comments. I don't want to infringe on a copyright so I'll end there, however, Mejames, you should get a copy of the mag (issue 140) and read the review yourself.
As I said, the only reason I went out to order this is the review by HP (I agree with most of what he says) and the ridiculous price for the wattage!
