First i ordered a pair of the Zero Autoformers.The trick with getting the highs right is something called gain bandwidth product. With most amps this is pretty poor. This can result in a harsh high end and is why a lot of solid state amps have troubles in this regard, especially when confronted with a low impedance load at the same time. The ZEROs at least help out with the latter. Making the amp's job easier is usually audible :)
Just put them in a few days ago and the results were HUGE with my tube amps.
Would switching amps make a big difference?
I've been using a Belles 21a tube pre and a pair of PrimaLuna Prologue Sevens with Martin Logan Ethos speakers for the last 6 years and it sounds good. I'm pretty stuck in tube land. But does it get better?
I was wondering if a Raven Osprey Integrated amp or the Lyngdorf TDAI-2170 or another amp, ideally integrated could elevate and sound even more, around same price of $5k - which if I went ahead is about what my current amp setup should bring me.
Then there is the idea of switching to the Martin Logan ESL Impression 11a...
Thoughts? Suggestions?
