CJ MF 2500A or maybe the 2250. I have the 2500A and love it. It replaced a 2200 and was miles ahead of it. I read one review somewhere in which the reviewer said the 2500A sounded very close to a SET amp. A great amp IMO
Warm and Detailed S.S. Amp?
I currently own a Modwright preamp and a Pass Labs X150 amp. I really enjoy these components but, I wish the Pass amp had more warmth in my system. What amps have the warmth of tubes but are as detailed and as controlled as this Pass amp. I can't afford the .5 series of Pass amps. I previously had a CJ MF-200 amp and PV-11 preamp in my system, which was much warmer, but not as clean and detailed. I'm looking to spend about $2K used. Thanks!

i have never heard a solid state that sounds warm. i will define warm as a coloration entailing extra energy in the upper bass and/or lower midrange, with a corresponding attenuation in the lower treble. such a presentation would not be perceived as warm. i would like someone to explain how one can perceive warmth and detail from a stereo system or component. |
May I humbly suggest the MusikLab Dual-Mono amplifiers from Denmark. The designer, Michael Edinger, designed the circuits for amplifiers receiving the TAS "Golden EAr" Awards. The Dual Mono D-220 represents the "next generation"of thse previous deisgns but now on his personal brand. As a tube lover, I am absolutely shocked at the sonics, purity, speed and resolution with exceptional bass control of the D-220. It easily surpasses large 833 SET amps in every area including parts quality. more info at http://www.tmhaudio.com/MusikLab.htm Jim Ricketts tmh audio |
