Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

300+ tube watts to drive my maggies would cause global warming…


and are much more expensive than solid state - watt per dollar. I’ll concede that I’ve yet to hear a solid state amp (including my listing below) replicate the harmonic (colorations, texture, and shading) or lit-from-within (3dimensionality, bloom, presence) of tubes. Nor, have I heard a tube amp replicate the speed, precision on the attack side of a note as well as solid-state.

To me, solids excel on the attack and tube excel on the decay.

Believe what your ears say - not hearsay.
