Suppose I may as well list mine.
Some are a bit obscure and members may not be familiar with them all.
Pre-amps.
MingDa MC-9 TVC.
VTL Deluxe valve job.
Power amps.
Pair Classic Tubes CT15 EL34 valve monoblocks.
Monarchy Audio SM-70 solid state Class A.
Monarchy Audio SM-70 Pro solid state Class A.
Integrated amp.
JVC AX-A441.
I've sold some amps recently so down to an HK 930 receiver, three power amps and 3 integrateds. And 3 A/V amps. And 2 pre amps. Not too bad by comparison.
Air Tight ATL10a passive pre with $1000 upgrade Alps pot.
Cayin C100 (modified SC-10). Excellent thing.
Luxman L-435 Integrated
Austria Analogue 211 monos (excellent)
Accuphase M-60 monos (ace)
Apart Champ - still assessing but very promising. Soon to hit some proper speakers.
Well, I plumbed my new Apart Champ One amp in when it arrived a few days ago just to make sure it was all OK.
And it's still there and making very fine music. :)
Yes, there is a touch of dryness to the treble as Justin has said. Strangely that notices most on rock music vocals, not classical. :scratch:
Good clarity, rez - nicely rich tonality as well.
Not quite the hear-thru transparency of my Lowther Club Jazz valve amp, but few things do, bar Justin's amazing Accu-amps.
Seemingly limitless power.
Damn, another amp I want to keep. :doh:
Stock photo to show the innards, and the prettily curved heatsinks :) ...

Coo, look at that transformer :drool: - no wonder it doesn't seem to run out of power. :eyebrows:

Thanks, Duncan. :thumbsup:
Have you tried the SS/tube switch yet? Still not taken the back panel of mine. Will plug it into the main system before the end of the easter break.
No, not yet.
Just had the back panel off and, switching between solid state and tube mode on the fly is pretty subtle on speakers with no bass i.e. the M&Ds. A slight loss of res in tube mode maybe?
If I walked in the room, not knowing the setting, with the M&Ds, I definitely couldn't tell you which mode it was in with any degree of reliability.
BTW it is the middle switch, Jerry, and you'll need a screwdriver to poke down inside a bit and change it.
My 4 main amps ....

Top to bottom on the left; Yarland FV-34Ciii (12wpc), Inca Tech Claymore (50wpc), Apart Champ One (300wpc)
And on the right; Lowther Club of Hong Kong Jazz 6L6 (but fitted with 6BG6) (8wpc)
The Jazz is currently plumbed in, but any can be made ready in about 1 minute. :)
All are different sounding, all are good - I love them all! :grouphug: :lol:
You need more wires
No such thing as too many wires. ;)
