trying to reach Art Audio..... are they gone ?
I just sold my Carissa.I will wonder if I did the right thing until I finish building my Audio Note Legend parallel 300b monoblocks and fall in love with them. At my age, I have to knock off one more thing on my bucket list, and this 300b system i...

I got the info I was looking for. The company may be on hard times, but the Carissa is still a super star of an amp.

best 12ax7 tube with jj el34l for Jadis Orchestra
Trelja's response in a pm....Yes, the 5751 sound the best of any variant, with the Sylvania triple mica black plate at the top of the heap. I wholeheartedly recommend them. Some will mention they have lower gain than a 12AX7, and if memory serves ... 
Want to swap amps for 30 days?
Maplegrove : Thanks. I will do that.B_Limo: I think that any company would be interested in participating if they can afford it. Over the years I have bought so many dacs, amps and cables that I have either sold at a loss or still have sitting in ...
