What type of amp do you have?

[supercapman]

Seems lately that more people are going down the valve route, thought i would put up a poll to see who has what, then maybe compare 6 months down the line.

Valve now, Primaluna 1.

Very nice too.

[Duvet]

Good idea SC . There's does seem to quite a few Primluna's fans knocking about now. Not tempted by the new Manley yet;)

[Lefty]

Solidstate - although if I ever assembled a second system it would probably be valve. Someting like:

Prima Luna into Proac Response 1sc's.... nice

[Biscuit]

solid state - but might be getting a valve phono preamp in the future.

[Duvet]

[Anthony]

me valve.

[Duvet]

Must be getting confused with something else. Sorry if i set your heart racing

[chezi61]

Solid State , would be a good match for your cdp , PM 11 S1. Copper Chassied beast.

chezi.

[murray johnson]

valve (and needs dusting!). there's a pair of these.

[harv]

solid state, would like to play with valves in the future, might have to get less demanding speakers first

[kingsxfan]

valve

[cjr]

Solid state.



And I think there are loads of SS amps out there that give a give facsimile of valved amps whislt being Solid Class A or SS Valve hybrids. Ie Sugden, Copland, Unico. The idea of a valved pre-amp running SS or Digital power amps makes a lot of sense to me. Anyway just a vore for good old SS in this sea of valves (nice that they are).

lol, like loads of peeps still buying turntables instead of mp3 players?

newer technology isn`t always better, things are built to a price nowadays, and it shows on a lot of stuff.

[Jezzer]

Solid-state (Krell KAV400xi).

(the Unison Reseach Unico is a very nice amp mind you)

[istari knight]

Solid State but will be getting a Tube MC Phono stage soon
