I have owned many tube amps, CJ ARC and VTL. I currently have Melos monoblocks and personally prefer them. The powersupply provides a lot of punch and the triode circuit is smooth and open without being as romantic as the CJ sound. However, if you can't decide I would go with tubegroover and buy ARC you won't be unhappy particularly with a VT 100 or 200
tube amp help CJ,VAC, or VTL
I would like to upgrade my Adcom amp and would like to try out a tube unit. Considering CJ11A,VAC100, or maybe VTL. What are the characteristics of the different amps and how much improvement can I expect? I will be using an Audible L1 preamp and Spica TC60's. Suggestions?
