Clayton Audio Class A

     I've got one of those class A Accuphase amps. 
     Had to install 2 bridged coal furnaces in the basement to generate enough electricity to run it then 2 more bridged out by the pool to run the ac to cool down my room.
     I can't tell when it's sunny out anymore and I think the wife and kids all might have lung cancer. 
     It's pretty cool how it glows that bright orangish-red and pulsates like a lava pool to let me know it's all warmed up and ready for some tunes.
     But it sounds terrific! So, definitely worth it.  Oh yeah, worth it, worth it, no doubt about it.

Take two stereo amps, bridge each and you have what the Adcom GFA-1 did with one chassis.

No doubt there are some great high bias class AB amplifiers out there, many of which I’ve owned over 30 years. However, the class A Clayton and Accuphase amplifiers (and others, Pass etc, that I’ve not had the pleasure of ownership) add the ‘organic texture’ most characteristic of tube amplifiers, without dynamic limitations or bloat.  As I’m now recently in a smaller retirement home, with a daughter moving back home, there is no dedicated listening room available.  I’ll be moving to an excellent integrated amplifier and monitor speakers. I will miss the Clayton S-2000 as my wife will not have that large amplifier in our family room.....oh well, I’ll find it a good home.😊. The Clayton M300s, and then the S-2000, have served me wonderfully for 12 years. Thank you Clayton!
