Viva vs. WAVAC amps

Greetings from the UK - can't comment on Jadis but have owned both Viva and Wavac amps and the result for me was without any doubt Viva. I have a Viva Linea pre and Viva 300B monoblocks and they are about the best amps I have ever heard or owned. Previously I had Wavac 300B which was excellent but the Viva . . . .

Wavac 300B is the entry level Wavac and costs the 1/5 of the Viva amps if I am not mistaken!

What is the rest of your setup?

Viva are fantastic.

Few days ago I had an audition with Viva LineaXP preamp and Mactone X25 preamp. The setup was tuned with Mactone and the owner was unhappy.
Then Viva entered the system and right out of the box and for a healthy 3 hours happy listening and smiles from all the participants. A phono shoot out betwen Viva and Wavac will follow.

The MActone owner was wondering why both units costs the same and the performance is night and day for Viva of course.

I think that there are many overrated japaneese audio gear out there, of course Viva has no advertisement and promotion but has many happy users in the U.S.

I own a Viva Solista, a true keeper... Has it almost all there, dynamics, transparency but overall tone rendering at is best.

Holy back from the dead threads - Nine years later, an update! That has to be an A'gon record.
