    Default Tube Distinctions Copper amp

    Audion Silver night and VTL ST150.I am in Aylesbury bucks.

    Many thanks John

    I've heard Marco's and it is stunning, not that it helps you to listen personally.

    Marco is your man, there's only a handful of these amps in existence, I don't think anyone else here has one. You'd have to get up to Wrexham though. It's worth it, very few power amps that I really cannot fault in any way but that is one of them.

    Yep, heard one on a few occasions. Just buy one, it’s a superb amp.

    Hi John.

    I too own a copper amp.

    What can I say but its bloody amazing.

    Its everything I had been looking for in an amplifier. Built to an amazing standard. Also Anthony is such a cool guy, very helpful and always a pleasure to deal with.

    It weighs a ton... The copper casing is beautifully made and only the best components are used.

    I have some pics of mine if you are interested in seeing one. I'm a bit far away from you though unfortunately.
