If you're already deaf, ARC is good, but maybe a little overkill. Be aware that the care and feeding of a properly maintained ARC tube amp can equal the cost of a used ARC tube amp.
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.

Sandy from GoldenEar uses Primaluna amps. That would be a great place to start and possibly finish. You can find great deals on used Dialogue Premium amps. That’s what I would be shopping for as my first tube amp. My first tube amp was a used Primaluna Dialogue One. Loved it and sold it three years later for almost what I paid for it. Haven’t really gone back to solid state since. |
point to point wired and likely one of the most reliable tube amps out there. Ive been using a low powered iteration for years , never a hiccup. In your price range and new of course and the reputation of Decware . https://www.decware.com/newsite/TORII.htm |
