I agree with the Bedini 25/25..... Very similar would be the Sumo Nine if you can find one properly refurbished. (60 watts) With a parts upgrade the old Sumo's sing.
Low Watt Solid State Amp
I am a tube guy. Have been for the last 20 years. I have various tube amps that I rotate depending on my mood. More recently, I have had the urge to add a solid state amp to the rotation. Looking for something clean, detailed, natural sounding that is in the neighborhood of 20 to 50 watts. I use a deHavilland Ultraverve 3 preamp with relatively high efficiency Tonian Lab speakers. Firstwatt comes to mind but is higher than I want to spend right now. Budget is about $1,000. Looking for a diamond in the rough kinda piece. For example, one of the tube amps that puts a smile on my face every time I plug it in is my Dynaco ST-35 -- not a huge investment, but just always sounds right. Any ideas are much appreciated. Thanks

First Watt is certainly what you'll hear... you might want to take a look at DIY Audio, they have First watt kits that you can build, some are very good.. If you like Pass, Here is a Chinese clone from a guy in the US that tried it, he is taking offers. https://www.ebay.com/itm/PASS-A3-30W-Class-A-Audio-Power-Amplifier/282976139172?_trkparms=aid%3D2220... |
