As I mentioned upthread, my class D SPEC amp is now driving my Boenicke W8 speakers. It was now time to explore tube amplification (fronted by Vinnie Rossie DHT using Takatsuki 300B tubes).
Where to start? As I looked at listing on Audigon and Audio Mart my thought was to go with something that had solid resale value. Also an amp in the (for me) mid price range. I didn't want to do the upgrade two-step too many times.
Well, brothers, I'm here to tell you I've seen the light. A bright green pleasure machine. Yes, Shindo has captured my heart. The little Cortese F2A -- 10 watts and 15 pounds. Texture and liquidity. Plenty of bass. And, as one writer put it, it just sounds as if the band was better rehearsed.
Will I sell my SIT-2? Not now, but maybe down the line....
