Need an amp, either SS or tube, around $1000


to $1,400, new or used, to go with my ARC LS 2B Mk 2 Preamp and Vandersteen 2CE Signature speakers. I have adcom 100 wpc (GFA 545) 1990 vintage and a Rotel RCD 1070 CD player. Room is 13' x 23' x 8' high with carpet, 2 couches and fabric chairs. I like music a little on the loud side and listem to jazz and rock (like Jethro Tull, Roxy Music, Emerson Lake and Palmer).

Second for the McCormack DNA-1. Excellent amp stock and superb upgraded.

It would make the Vandy's sing and give you some change back from your $1400 for more tweaks.
New Jolida 1501 RC from underwood hi fi with a few mods. Great amp with more than enough power, tube pre-stage, remote, and great service from Wally.
Look at the OTO SE. 8 watts of pure tube heaven at a bargain price. It is very reliable, the tubes last 2-3 years and are cheap to replace. Plus lots of happy users out there, and reviews to read.
