Thank you @wrm57 This verifies my purchase ambition. I am on the right track, this is an endgame tube amp for me.
Aric Audio Transcend Push Pull?
Anyone own this amp and if you do how do you like it? I am planning on getting one to add to the amp stable. I have a nice Coda SS amp so I thought I’d add a Tube amp to be able to change flavors from time to time. Aric has agreed to build it with XLR connectors so I can use my existing cables and he suggested the EL 34 tubes in it for my speakers and room situation. It will drive the top end of my Legacy Focus XD’s through the Legacy Wavelet II crossover/DSP unit. All the reviews I can find on it are old and Aric has made several improvements to it. I ordered it with stage 2 upgrades, might as well go "all in" as it will be my last major purchase. Looking for the tube warmth, bloom, soundstage layering and magic midrange tubes are so good at. Swapping amps will be easy for me because they both only weigh 45 pounds. I am 71 and ain’t what I used t be. LOL. Thank you.

Up until about a year ago, I paired my Motherlode with the Coda #16 with some spectacular, yet a bit inefficient TAD monitor speakers and thought I had peaked. Feeling the need to scratch an itch ( well known problem in our hobby), I reached out to Aric to have him put together an EL34 based push/pull to pair with some 98db speakers I was gifted. With little break in time, I was immediately stunned with what I was hearing from the all-tube, Aric Audio ensemble. The man is a sonic genius and he and his gear are gifts to the audio community! You cannot go wrong with any of his offerings! |
@laaudionut Thank you for that. Now I just need to be patient as he gets through his queue. I think he has like 23 projects ahead of me. |
