This I can tell you these new ps audio monos do sound very respectable
adding a12au7 tube per mono block ,but what’s missing is the realism depth and liquid realism , for example I heard them vs the pass labs 60 class a integrated , ,the pass labs doesnot have the power or the slam ,but is far more natural sounding much more on the warm side triode like ,The other the latest Coda CSib integrated amplifier with the 250-500 wpc 12 first watts in pure class A , which is very tubelike in many ways more pentode then the warmer triode usung jfet,Mosfets, and bipolar transistors on the outputs.
but the leading edge is more defined having a separate class A preamp section
Was very surprising and the best balanced of the 3 ,from what I heard or to my taste. Based on that I ordered the Coda ,and just came in after a 6 week wait.,I wanted the lower power one which has class A first watts of 18 then 150-300wpc .
