Ridge Street Audio Sason Owners

Hi Brian, I have 200 watt tube mono blocks that were designed by Bob Carver and Tim de Paravicini (of EAR fame) using vintage transformers. According to Bob, they sound better than the massively expensive Carver Silver Seven tube monoblocks (remember those?) and have 1 ohm tap for the Apogee Scintillas (his favorite speaker).

Saw your system thread. Are you still contemplating on replacing the Sasons?

Yes, I still have a desire to venture out. That said, I have new amplification that should be here tomorrow that I am curious to see how it mates.

What is lacking about the Sasons that you want to change?

Please tell us what amp is comming and let us know how it compares to your Mac.

They perform very well, but I have desires to try out some others. I am switching to a Luxman L-509a II integrated amp. The speakers sounded better at the show I heard them at than I have duplicated at home, they were using Ultra Fi tubed gear.

The best i've heard the sasons paired with is with Atmasphere amps
The synergy between them is really something special
