| Excellent Solid State or Hybrid Monoblocks Recommendations @jaymark Glad you're enjoying them! I have an old A23, but haven't heard any of the newer John Curl designs. It's a fine amp, but the BHK 250 is in another league. Ironically, it also developed a random channel dropout issue once it warms up. | |
| Excellent Solid State or Hybrid Monoblocks Recommendations @jaymark How are you liking the BHK 300s compared to the JC1s so far? Hope you were able to get a few good listening sessions in! | |
| Excellent Solid State or Hybrid Monoblocks Recommendations @jaymark I'm just dipping into the German tubes since there's such a price premium and the market is flooded with fakes, but the ones I've tried have sounded great. Have you checked out Brent Jesse's stock? For ~$100 more for the quad, he's got ... | |
| Excellent Solid State or Hybrid Monoblocks Recommendations many thanks. I was going to pick up a pair of used PS Audio BHK 300 monoblocks used then got cold feet when the seller did not know how old they were and the serial numbers were non-sequential.

| Excellent Solid State or Hybrid Monoblocks Recommendations I might have been the one who bought those 300’s😄. So far I am really enjoying them. @curiousjim Congrats! Those were very tempting for the price. Which tubes are you currently running? I found the 6DJ8 Amperex A frames (~$70/pr on eBay f... | |
| Excellent Solid State or Hybrid Monoblocks Recommendations Have you looked into PS Audio's hybrid amps? I have a BHK 250 that sounds excellent with Scansonic MB3.5s, which have similar requirements as your Aerial Acoustics. The BHK 250 is on clearance now for ~$4k on PS Audio's site and a steal at its c... | |
| Power cable Advice... That's a pretty big jump from stock and quite a large budget dedicated to AC cables. Just something to think about is that you can make your own cables for a fraction of the cost and have more control over experimentation with what works best for... | |
| MBL Owners: The "Why" Behind Our Choices and the Search for the Ultimate "Wow" Factor My first exposure to MBL was in early 2000s eBay. Their classic integrated amp from this era with black and gold cursive really caught my eye, so I began researching the brand. Their speaker design always stood out to me and was my endgame goal.... | |
| Tube Research GT-100 and Audio Physic Virgos I would give Cary a try. I'm driving the Audio Physic Step SLE monitors with my Cary SLA-70 MKII. From my understanding, my monitors are the same tweeters as the Virgos. The smaller amps might not have as much power to do what you want, but some o... |
