After a long time, at least 6 months, cycling through my other various amps both solid state and tubes, I finally hooked up my Luxman MQ300 again, this time with the Misho Wooden preamp.
While I dearly love my Misho Wooden combo best overall (amp and preamp), it’s more natural, lively and open sounding than either of my 45 or 300B amps.
300B amps in general, and especially my Luxman MQ300 with the Takatsuki 300B tubes is a little fuller and more tonally dense. I love SET and a thick full sound. I can see how constantly listening to one kind of sound, while superb, can make me want to listen to something else for variety. Having the luxury of switching to another amp for a different flavor is wonderful.
That’s the beauty of my Avantgarde. They really let me experience what each amp/preamp has to offer. 2wpc to 20wpc is a goldmine of amazing amps just waiting to be heard. It can be a little addictive but oh so rewarding.
ps - The Luxman MQ300 is no longer for sale. :blush:
