I've just been playing around with a miniwatt N3 amp and it has really, really surprised me.
Some years ago, I had an Audiospace AS-2i integrated, a little EL-84 which was the sweetest sounding little amp I've ever heard. I foolishly sold it and have been looking for another ever since (sound familiar ?).
Well, with the N3, the search for that sound has ended, this is probably sweeter still. With 3.5W into my fairly sensitive speakers, in a very small listening room this thing absolutely rocks, even with my Deadmau5 and Infected Mushroom dance tunes, yet still has that amazing mid range and delicate, smooth highs which are remarked on positively all over the web.
Anyway, that's the history.
The amp currently has a TJ Full Music signal valve and Sovtek EL-84's as powers. I am looking to experiment with the EL-84's, so, what do you have or can you recommend ?
Thanks chaps
