Amp Help for an amature
Hi,
I am in a bit of a bind about what amplifier to buy. I have a budget of about $1000 and have a few choices lined up. The problem is that because of location I have to rely entirely on suggestions and opinions’ seeing as there is nowhere that sells these products near me. I have narrowed it down to these:
Antique Sound Labs WAVE AV-25 25wpc mono block amps with a few cap upgrades
Dynaco ST-70 full blown upgrade
McCormack DNA-125 possibly with a Rev C or B if I can afford it
The Ella DIYcable.com kit
I don’t know where to go from here really, if anybody has any comments good or bad about any of these or any other ideas please let me know. I will be Using this with the Tube output Njoe Tjoeb CDP. It has an internal volume control and is my only source so I am less worried about a pre-amp but am thinking about the Bottlehead Foreplay pre or the pass labs entry pre.
Thanks so much
