Thanks a lot! Yes, I saw that they were expensive.Hi, I bought my NOS Telefunken here, overall experience was great. Mr. Tiziano answered my questions and recommended optimal tubes according to my preferences (stage, detail, weight and clarity). It seems expensive, but we don't have to buy but one preamp tube with the Auris.
Has anyone a solid state amp besides the auris HA-2 SF? I would appreciate more or less different sound signature to have more options. If the violectric is similar and rather worse than the Auris (which supposedly would be the case regarding the quality of the Auris), then it doesn't make much sense to spend so much. My idea is to use the violectric for blackmetal, and the auris for jazz, psychedelic and classical.
It's also good to know that you get help because I have absolutely no idea what I can or can't use.
Regarding the SS amp, I was recently looking for a new one. I wanted a bright, natural-sounding amp. I was looking at Violetric and SPL Phonitor XE.
I finally decided to get SPL because Violetric seemed to be on the warmer side, and I thought SPL was not. When I got SPL, I was completely surprised.
SPL is everything but bright. I wanted something completely different than Auris, but I got something that reminds me of tube.
But it's not the same; it's completely different sounding than Auris; still, it is warmer sounding, but with characteristic sound, maybe kind of organic?
I didn't get what I wanted, but I got something even better than I imagined it would be. It's a really great-sounding amp with lots of power.
So Violetric, that remains the question for me too Perhaps it's more like Auris than SPL is.
I see where that comes from, your preferences in genres and amps; SPL might be suitable for that purpose and what you wanted.
I could try listening to some black metal with SPL and Sony MDR-Z1R and tell you how I felt.
Cheers!
