air tight atm-300r SET amp

[aKnyght]

new SET power amp in the rig: air tight atm-300r

have about 20 hours on it so far... and, i will forgo all the audiophile adjectives and get straight to the bottom line: this thing is so good it will make you slap your granny (as the saying goes)!

:D

Beauty! How does it sound vs. the Almarro?

truth be told, they sound quite similar. it is just that the air tight SQ is on a higher level -- every aspect of that SET goodness is operating in overdrive. the sound is quite rich and textured. it is also "authoritative" throughout the frequency range. the bass is the best i have heard in any tube amp.

the real comparative test will be in a month or so when i plan to swap the almarro back into the system and see what i think after hearing the air tight.

anyway, this makes me appreciate how good an amp the almarro really is ...at ~15% the price in terms of msrp, it packs a serious punch. even after hearing the air tight in my system, i could still be more than happy with the almarro as my main amp. it just a tragedy the company is not around any longer.

Nice amp. I used the ATM-1 with my Vikings.
