Wanting to try a tube amp.


Looking at  an ARC Ref 110 to go with my Ls28se. Used is fine with me want to keep it under 4k. I only stream thru a node 2i and Audio Mirror iii se. Speakers are GE Triton Refs. Any other thoughts for me? Room is 14 wide 24 deep 8 high. Listen to mainly Pink Floyd, ELP,  and rock in general. Don't play loud, about 75db. I'm already deaf and have a pretty decent noise floor in my head to compete with. Thanks.

I had ARC gear, including the Ref 40th and then the ARC Ref. 10.  About 4 years ago I started switching to Octave.  First the MRE 220 Monos and then the Jubilee preamp.

Octave amps with the additional capacitance provided by the Super Black Box ("SBB") will drive any speaker, irrespective of the load challenges.  More importantly, Octave gear represents the best of both design worlds: the transient speed, inner detail and punch of solid state and the bloom, realism and atmosphere that only valves can produce.

There RE 320 is an incredible stereo amp and only requires a single SBB.  It will amaze.  One of the members in our local audio club has one and it is the envy of our group.
