Amplifier Selection


Help! I am looking to replace my Levinson 336 amplifier with either the Accuphase P-1000 or Linn Klimax Solo 500 mono amps. Anyone have an opinion on which amplifier to go with? Any help is greatly appreciated. My current system includes:

Linn CD-12
Levinson 32 Pre-amp
Levinson 336 amp
JMLab Utopia Mezzos
Shunyata Research Hydra
Nordost Valhalla Cables/Interconnects

Thanks

With a system of this caliber, I would recommend the best
amp that I have ever heard. KR Enterprise (a.k.a. KR
Audio Electronics) with their "Vaccuum Transducer" design,
makes music so effortless that no other amplifer -no matter
what the price or the brand of type has been able to match. You really owe it to yourself to at least audition one of
their models before to make a decision. I, for one, am
indefinitely spoiled.

If you want reviews, there is one in the December 1999
Stereophile on the VT8000 monoblocks, and there is another
in Planet Hi-Fi. Most of the other reviews are not in
English.

If you're most concerned about resale value, then KR is
probably not your best choice. However, if you want the
closest to the real thing (I know I do), then I don't know
of an amplifier that can get you as close.

Happy listening!
