Four of our products, in very different categories, got Editor's Choice awards in the current issue of The Absolute Sound for 2018.
Ultravalve 35W/Ch pure vacuum tube power amplifier. $1599https://avahifi.com/collections/power-amplifiers/products/ultravalve-vacuum-tube-amplifierFet Valve 600R 300W/Ch hybrid tube power amplifier. $3199https://avahifi.com/collections/power-amplifiers/products/fet-valve-600r-hybrid-amplifier?variant=7594761224222Vision Q adjustable phono preamplifier. $499https://avahifi.com/collections/for-vinyl-lovers/products/vision-q-phono-preamplifierFet Valve CFR remote control vacuum tube preamplifier. $2099https://avahifi.com/collections/preamplifiers/products/fet-valve-cf-slr-preamplifierI find it interesting that we have awards for such a variety of AVA designs. A pure vacuum tube preamplifier, a very high power hybrid tube/solid state power amplifier, an integrated circuit based phono preamplifier, and a remote control vacuum tube preamplifier.
I suggest that this might indicate that we do excellent audio design here, not limited to one technology, just a outstanding understanding of what is needed to produce a rewarding musical listening experience for you.
I also suggest that high cost is not the defining mark of merit for great audio equipment. When our brand new $1999 SET 400 solid state amplifier gets selected by an experienced reviewer for keeping in his own system to replace a $10,000 pair of monoblocks, we think you should look at us again for major improvements to your own system,
even if our prices are too low.Frank Van Alstine
