    Default New amp - and it's solid copper

    Hi folks.

    Just a little update on my system. Recently sold my beautiful Tube Distinction KT120 amp to get something much less impressive due to other things happening but as these things go I found myself lucky enough to buy this monster of a beauty.

    A Tube Distinctions Copper amplifier!

    Big shout and thanks to Ian Walker and Marco for the most excellent purchase and heads up.

    Sound wise, it's simply stunning.... Just like my other amp, the separation and presentation is addictive and grabs the 15" Tannoy Monitor Golds by the gruff of the neck and pins em down to work as they should. It's nothing but a perfect match.

    I have a choice with this amp to use GZ34's or 5U4G's... the former was used up until a couple of days ago whilst the 5U4G's have now been put in permanent pride of place. The sound is so much more with the 5U4G's. Right from the bottom upwards it has more clarity, realism, weight and slam. It's really quite astonishing.

    So here is the BIG question that quite a few ask themselves 'is this your last amp?'... I have to say, YES... it's absolute.

    I will be writing more on this post with a full system update because it's been a while, so check back.

    Cheers
    Jo

    Very nice indeed!
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Very nice! Good amp that.

On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”
