Selling off Tubes for Solid State, A Cooler Love Story?
I've always sought out Primaluna gear as my end all be all gear. I started with an integrated, then went to separates and have been very, very happy. What has given me such good sound, is also causing the room temperature to be somewhat annoying. Being in a little shoe box room of 10x15, I've had to result to opening a window, which is becoming tiresome.
The heat from just the KT88's is causing me to considering going solid state, which will be in preparation for the Summer in my tiny upstairs room. I'd like to possibly get a second amp for the summer months, but am not sure where to start with solid state amps. Do I pick up a BHK? Do I go all in on a used Ypsilon or Dartzeel? What did you look for in a solid state amp and where should I look? I BHK I could test drive at home, but a used Ypsilon I wouldn't able able to try and would just have to pull the trigger. Any advice or guidance is appreciated.
Should look at at tubes further up the ladder. I can not imagine not having my AH Qualiton X200 in my system. Just my opinions here and you should do what is right for you. Have a great day. |
@charles1dad the 301s is awesome but the X200 is better for me. I am thinking about keeping the 301S it is a quality piece. |
@jerryg123 AFAICS, Jeff Rowland makes 301s monoblocks, and Bel Canto makes an e.ONE REF500s. |
