Sell me your amp!!
I have a need to sell my beloved Hyperions and have a wammer that wants them so with that in mind im looking a valve power amp.
cutting the rack space and box number down a bit.
what i have on my wish list is
1, Hovland sapphire ( currently haggling for one)
2, ART Diavolo 300b
3, Glasshouse power amp
4, Audionote
ETC, ETC, you know the sort of thing, looks and sounds the doggies danglies!

Dont need much power as my speakers are 105db so really easy to drive. ( saphire is way more than i need but feck me, look at it!

Or anything else please let me know but please dont be offended if its not my cup of tea.

Budget around £2k

I don't know about a cup of tea Ron but I might let my Mini-T go for 2k if I were pushed. I mean, it does sound quite 'valve-like' in my system and I will even lash up a circuit containing a couple of flame effect, low wattage candle bulbs and superglue it to the top to heighten the aesthetic... :D

They spend the money on the bits rather than the case, the new one above, looks a lot nicer than the plain one I had.
Without a doubt, the best amp I have heard and owned, given suitable speakers.

It did soundstage, imaging, bass speed and control (within reason) brilliantly.

dont need big power tam only driving the mids and trebel and the mids are an easy 105db 8ohm so flea power will do
