Viva vs. WAVAC amps

Can't comment on the Viva amps, but I did own a Wavac, and I agree with Albert. They have stunning transparency, great soundstaging, dynamics, detail, and liquidity. They even have bass!! Not your typical SET. I found my Wavac to be a step above my Art Audio Jota in almost every category, and certainly one of if not THE best amp I've owned. Speaker compatibility caused me to sell, but alas...I miss it!!

I have heard both, not at the same time and own WAVAC md-805M.

To me, my ears and system Wavac are flawless with the right speaker and the holy grail of valve amps.

IMHO

I heard the Viva Fono with the Viva Solista.IME the Fono is the best phono stage I have ever heard.I contemplated purchasing the Fono and returned to the Dealer for several listening sessions.
The more I listened the more the economy shrunk and I was forced to forgo the purchase.If you are into vinyl the Viva Fono is a must audition.
Albert,I was told that Profundo in California is the importer
of Viva

Profundo took over after Terry had it here in Dallas. I don't know the linkage that was involved in this last transfer of distribution.

I saw Bob at CES, he's a very nice and polite person. I hope he does well with VIva.

Thank you Albert and my apology to the OP who ask a question on Viva and Wavac amps to which I responded with praise for a phono stage.Also the Fono was playing through a Linea not the Solista that I mentioned.I guess its just my day
