I’ve owned a few Cary tube products. Great build quality and customer support.
Amp Recommendations
Hello everyone, posting this for a friend. He's looking for a new amp. The current setup is
Audiolab 6000CDT (Transport)
MSB Link upgraded (DAC)
Conrad Johnson PV-11
Pair of Berning EA-230 (used as monoblocks)
Martin Logan Electromotion
Interconnects are Pangea Audio Premier XL
Choseal Speaker cables (replaced Kimber Kable 4 TC)
The Berning amp just doesn't have enough power to run the ML. He's looking for (preferably) a tube amp that is at least 100 wpc. Also open to an integrated amp (also tubed). New or used is fine and budget is $3 - 5K. He started looking and is eyeing PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP, Almaro A50125A, or VAC PA 100/100. Thoughts/suggestions.

What does he not like about the pair of EA-230 amplifiers now? Note: A a test, I've driven ML Motion speakers with four different high and low power tube amplifiers just to see what they would sound like. They are fine with my home theater yet did not make a notable impression for two channel audio. They don't operate as efficient as they are rated imo. If your buddy goes with other tube amps or SS amps, with the same speakers - I'd make sure they have at least 2-3x more power and current than what is being used currently today.
