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.

@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?

@steve59 I have a customer that uses a full 3000 HV stack (MP, P, A, and PS) with KEF Blades and he is very, very happy with the electronics matching.

Thyname has a good suggestion to use the PA 3100 HV with a separate DAC (consider the T+@ DAC 200 to go with it). That said, the separates are for sure better.

@thyname I did get some details about the PSD, but I've been asked not to share too deeply until the product is released. That said, I can confide that the quality differences do go beyond the ares I provided above, and there are differences all in the preamp section, power supply, volume control and all. Both are still good values for their price points.

I will iterate that the SDV is the best purchase I ever made in my own system. I already owned the P 3000 HV, which was the best preamp I ever owned prior to the SDV. Combined with a world class DAC in a single unit, and a quality streamer and network audio device, it is a worthy investment for combined endgame performance. The DAC 200 is also exceptional for its price point, and I've preferred it to DACs double its cost. I'm certain the PSD, while not inexpensive, will also strike a great balance between cost and performance.

Your update is much appreciated.

 

Still, being T+A series HV, the PSD 3100 I am sure is a great piece of equipment. Definitely in my “to audition” list
