Absolute Best power amp, tube ss

i vote for my levinson #33 monoblocks. unsurpassed power and authority but grain-free, natural and delicate. at 360 pounds each they are theft-proof too. and.....you won't need to heat your room. problems i had previously assigned to my speakers, the software or the source hardware was revealed to be the amps when i upgraded to these amps. made my #33hs sound broken in comparison(i'm not kidding).

My two cents are for SS the Spectral 360 Monos and the Jadis 800 for tubes.

For solid state, the best I've heard are the Levinson 33s; for tubes, a few--Jadis JA80s and JA200s (using Gold Lion KT88s); Lamm ML-1s and 2s; and the Audio Matiere Ultimas.

tube Conrad Johnson premier 8A. note the premier 12's were stereophile rated class A also, they are not in the same league as the 8's.

If your A LAMM fan check out Lars Fredell's review of the Aloia amp. It equalled his Lamm reference at one-tenth the cost.
