Purchased mono Merrill Audio Veritas amps earlier this year. They outperform my SMc Audio 225 amp and my Quicksilver V4 monos.

This Van Alstine amp is worth a look, and they offer a 30-day trial period. Best of luck. https://avahifi.com/products/dva-set-500-stereo-power-amplifier |
Agree with mm1tt77 by enlarge. Pass, Coda. situation at Krell seems unclear right now for service, etc. Would add Ayre to the list to consider. i have a Pass XA-25 and very happy with it. Would consider to add a tube phono but definitely not replace it with a tube amp as it provides similar sound but without some of the negative aspects. good luck in your search |
I rarely see YBA mentioned here but their amps are designed with tube sound in mind. I used to work at a stereo shop that carried their products and it was always an easy sell for customers seeking a tube-like sound without the hassle. As a long-time tube owner I personally found them enjoyable and have often been tempted to go that way again. ;-) They're pretty affordable, too. |
