That is one cool looking tube amp.

Maybe its a preamp??

Good thing I stayed home.
I'm easily led astray by new audio gear and that stuff looks spectacular.

Is the new pre supposed to out perform the ls100?

It may be better, but I didn't get a chance to compare them in the same system. The SWLP9.0 anniversary edition uses 5687 tubes instead of 6SN7. The LS 100 has greater flexibility in that it can include a phono preamp or a DAC. The 9.0 is purely a line stage.

that is exactly why i bought the ls100 with a Phono. I love it. What I really like is that I can use it for MM and MC cartridges. I also notice that the MWI products run fairly cool. My previous equipment ran quite a bit warmer. Really enjoying it.

The amp and speakers really showed off well together. Lou's speakers can sound muffled with slow amps but this amp really brought out the rich tones that Daedalus is known for while maintaining the clarity and PRaT Modwright amps possess. It's amazing that Lou can get the woofers to run that tight with a 10 watt SET amp. Or should I say it's amazing that Dan can control woofers that tight with a 10 watt SET amp?

Either way, excellent.

I heard that this amp did run of headroom with the big Poseidons. I think the upcoming monoblocks with 30 watts should do the trick. I am sorry I will miss the debut at RMAF.

Stunning and gorgeous new tubed amp. Unfortunately, I need more like at least 100 wpc with my Venture 4 ohm and 89db.

Beautiful set-up! Hoping to add an Elyse Dac to my MW Sony 5400 at some point...

To be honest, Lou is the genius behind the aesthetics of the amp! No wonder they match his speakers so well. The metal trim rings and the overall look were his suggestions. It turned out VERY WELL!

Wait till you get a load of the 845 DS Cost No Object Monos at RMAF

.

Thanks,

Dan

Next up is the 845 monos at 30W per pair.

I am also considering either parallel SE 845 monos at 60W, or even P-P 845 monos at closer to 100W.

All in good time AND in good taste….

Dan
