SS amps for merlin vsm

I tried musical fidelity A5 (low damping factor) power amp with modwright valve pre amp and the sound was really very good

tried A5 integrated amp also.... didint like harmonics

Third the TAD Hibachi monoblocks. Simply astounding performance for the money. Sweet, detailed and dynamic.

i found the right amp ,,,solid state / tube = AUDIOLAB 8000 C pre + 8000 P power UNBELIVABLE .. very cheap thats the disadvantage...... BEST MATCH solid state for merlin vsm mme irrespective of price range

"very cheap thats the disadvantage"

how is that a disadvantage?

.

simple solid state amp that will go close to EL 34 mid and KT 88 bass

and thats AUDIOLAB 8000 C/P (pre=class A/powclass AB)

the best solid state i have heard with merlin vsm irrespective of any price range

the compination shines and it outperformes merlin & ARS sonum

i BROUGHT one today after having it with me for 3 days and doing lot of comparison

paid only $600 for pre/pow ...was ready to pay $ 6000 for a nice solid state amp

so the only problem here was too cheap :)
