@jijoh123 - very good choices. Enjoy your tube journey.
Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup
I'm moving from solid state class D to a Tube Integrated amplifier and have narrowed it down to (2). The Ayon Scorpio II w/KT150's and the PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP w/KT120's. Does anyone have any experience with either or both of these they can share. Recommendations? Others I should consider in the $3K to $6K range? My speakers are relatively efficient at 98dB.

@jijoh123 @ghdprentice - +1 on the Audio Research integrated amp. Over the last few years I’ve been on a mission to listen to as many amps as I can, often in my home as possible. Over that time, I’ve acquired a Conrad Johnson and an Audio Hungary tube amp. Big fan. But the amp that initially got me intrigued on tube amps was the Audio Research I-50. I initially purchased it when it first came out but supply chains during COVID delayed delivery, so I changed my mind and bought another amp from the dealer instead. And I regret it! The AR I-50 was simply amazing sounding. |
Any one of these or a Pathos integrated in your price range. |
@ghdprentice +1 I have listened to the ARC I-50 and if I were going to go with an integrated set up, this would be #1 on my list. ARC is just in a league of their own IMHO. |
I just traded up a Raven Audio Osprey for a Reflection.... The Osprey produced musical sound stage that I did not think I could hear any more from in 5 years of ownership...But know Raven has that Osprey and sure you could purchase for good price...With the right tubes that Osprey was sure nice to turn on for the 5 years of ownership..The Reflection just adds to the Osprey in ways I could not even dream I could hear more coming out of the tracks of music I have listened to for years..But it comes at a price.. Wish you well in your search for musical detail you are looking for.. |
