Valvet A3.5 Block with Merlin VSM ?


Hi!
Anyone listened to these monoblocks with Merlins.
Due to ridiculous hi price for NOS tubes I´ve considered
getting a class A SS amp.
Read several reviews on Valvet all very positive and wonder how they would sound compared with tube amps.
Would really appreciate some feedback.
Many Thanks!

hi everybody,

I run Merlins in order of appearance with

CJ Premier 11 (nice n slow, slighty fat, blotched memory)
Einstein absolute tune OTL/Mosfet integrated: Wonderful, cool.
Berning ZH 270, the real thing. fast, impressive, expressive.

as an afterthought: Accuphase E550 and Sugden Masterclass Poweramp, both fantastic class A amps where really great.

Have now moved to ZH230, and I am completely overwhelmed; i cannot think it can go better - even though, and I will have to go down that lane at some stage - I have not tried the Ars Sonum..

happy trying out. That is to say, probably Valvet Class A can be fantastic, I have heard a wonderful pre of Knut's
