All of those amplifiers have merit. It would help Audiogon members if you included your choice of speakers, how large your room is and how loud you like to listen.
Amp Help for an amature
Hi,
I am in a bit of a bind about what amplifier to buy. I have a budget of about $1000 and have a few choices lined up. The problem is that because of location I have to rely entirely on suggestions and opinions’ seeing as there is nowhere that sells these products near me. I have narrowed it down to these:
Antique Sound Labs WAVE AV-25 25wpc mono block amps with a few cap upgrades
Dynaco ST-70 full blown upgrade
McCormack DNA-125 possibly with a Rev C or B if I can afford it
The Ella DIYcable.com kit
I don’t know where to go from here really, if anybody has any comments good or bad about any of these or any other ideas please let me know. I will be Using this with the Tube output Njoe Tjoeb CDP. It has an internal volume control and is my only source so I am less worried about a pre-amp but am thinking about the Bottlehead Foreplay pre or the pass labs entry pre.
Thanks so much
