I've been using solid state for a long time but I think I'm ready to make the jump to tubes after extensively auditioning my friend's DIY Aren van Waarde amp. At first, I couldn't hear the benefits, but I eventually realized how much more depth the soundstage has and how much more tangible each sonic image seems. The sound just has a sense of realness and "rightness" to it.
Unfortunately, I'm not up to building something on that scale, so I'm looking for alternatives. Which amps have the characteristics I described above?
Tenatively I'm leaning towards the MPX3, as I've seen a comment or two that would suggest it has what I'm looking for. Unfortunately, it's roughly at the limit of what I'm willing to spend, but it seems to be regarded as the best value in the Singlepower line. If that's the case, I'd be willing to spend a little extra for it.
Any advice is appreciated.
