Peter, I'd recommend the Roth Audio MC4. I have tried Fatman Carbon and similar variants but the Roth blew me away. The MC4 is a hybrid design and uses four tube complements and MOSFETs, outputs 13Wx2. Am assuming you're listening to no less than lossless files which is a must to truly appreciate the reproduction.
Desktop Tubes
Not sure where to post this.
I’m feeling restless and want to redo my desktop setup. What do you recommend in the way of tubes and speakers? I’m thinking of the elusive audiophile bargain (so likely used). I’m intrigued by the Tecon “55,” Miniwatt, Glow Amp One or Jolida FX10. Would be happy with a well regarded kit or modding. At the moment I need an amp to plug my iPod into but I like the future flexibility of a built-in DAC. I have spare speakers so I just need thoughts on what people recommend to go with the amp – again I wouldn’t mind a project building something.
