Oakiris, by the way there are some changes in the Sophia line up. At least cosmetically the changes are major, and the new set of amps is manufactured in California rather than China. Jim should probably now more about this, but there is some info on the Sophia website.
Preamp/Amp synergy with Cain Abby's?
Well here it is: I finally got my Cain Abby's three months ago and they are completely broken in (800+ hours). Now it's finally time to try out some different preamp/amps. After talking to Terry (Cain) and since no amp seems perfect for my musical tastes (everything from World, Jazz, Rock), I am currently looking at getting two different amps for different moods with a matching preamp:
Fi Y preamp
SET amps:
(intended for low volume, relaxed listening sessions)
Bottlehead S.E.X. amp (already got it, but it is still not quite finished)
Fi X amp (planned for sometime in the future, fits 2A3 and 45 tubes, just love the looks)
Solid State:
(for more bottom end control, and a fast, tight sound)
First Watt F1
Any comments, experiences, recommendations?
The rest of my system...(just replaced the Super 3 with Abby's)
Well, thanks already in advance for all your help.
Best wishes,
Rene
