Quietest amp you ever owned ?


A few years ago I had the little Antique Sound Labs MG SI 15 DT integrated and was impressed how quiet it was; in other words with the amp on and no music playing it was dead quiet when I put my ear right up to the drivers on the speaker. I am curious what other amps out there are as dead quiet since most amps have a slight hum or hiss that can be heard when music is not playing. At the time I was using Coincident Conquest speakers which are pretty efficient.

Still using my dead silent Dynaco ST-80 (by Panor 1996) with my conquests. Never heard such power and detail out of a 40 watt amp/20 watt triode.
Bob,
The 80 can't be compared to anything Dynaco originally produced. I've played with 70's and even had a pair of fully restored/upgraded MKIV's. Nothing can touch this amp. Panor+25 years of technology really made a difference.
The re-release of the 70 should be quite nice also. Finally, I do believe there is a 160 out there.
