T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components


T+A stands for Theory and Application.

I'm keeping this broad and open to T+A's HV Series components (HV = High Voltage),

Which (currently) includes two integrated amplifiers, two multi-source players, preamplifier, amplifier, power supply, and SACD/CDP/DAC.

Creating this thread for owners to share their impressions, findings, thoughts, experiences, and questions about their HV components. Comparisons to other T+A Series products are also welcome.

Thanks @blisshifi. At $22K, PSD seems to be quite a bargain. I didn’t realize SDV 3100 now retail for $39K 😳

@blisshifi : thanks for chiming in.

Those differences you mentioned are too small / insignificant to justify such a huge price difference (PSD vs. SDV), so logically must be something else (i.e. what you said in your last paragraph). Yes, please do inquire.

Since I already have the PA 3100 HV (integrated amp), I don't really need the pre-amp section, so, hopefully they come up with something cheaper than PSD in that line (ex-pre amp section), similar to the SD vs. SDV.

This thread has been chugging along for four years now. I’m using a Hegel h590 to drive my kef blades and for the price I can’t complain, I sure would like to get the A3000HV with a quality dac/pre to compare. I can’t justify the price of the SDV3100.

@steve59 :

sure would like to get the A3000HV with a quality dac/pre to compare.

Or you can get the PA 3100 (integrated amp, meaning an amp with preamp built in), then add a standalone DAC of your choice.

 

I agree, the price of SD / SDV (3100 HV) is ridiculous (for me)

 

 

On a parallel note, anyone tried Bi or Tri amping, using the A 3000 HV and couple of M40 HV monoblocks?   Also, any idea if they are working on an A 3100 HV or is 3000 it?
