Thanks for looking!

No cash.     At least I have new speakers coming!

This was absolutely The Piece I Should Not Have Sold - awesome.  These things are simultaneously punchy, powerful, and beguiling.  All the positive press was deserved.

Couldn't agree more. Now you are causing me to 2nd think my for sale posting,... hope I don't regret it!  I've been shopping around for the past 3 months trying to find a tube amp in the $6-750 range, that I really would like, so that I could afford to hang on to the AMP1 also. Finally gave up to buy a used KR audio.

I wouldn't sell it, at least until you have something better in your house that you definitely prefer.  Selling something really good in hopes of finding a better replacement is often a mistake.  We are a "grass is always greener" bunch, but oftentimes it is not.

How do these Amp-1's compare to Vinnie's Sig 30?  Miklorsmith, haven't you had both?

[miklorsmith]

Yeah, they're really different.  How about SET vs. PP?  The Sigs are also spectacular but mellower, smoother and more refined.  The AMP-1 is ballsier with a bigger jump factor, more obviously dynamic.

Depending on the rest of the system and preferences, I could see either being preferable.  I've made significant changes to my rig since I owned the AMP-1 but I have no problem with big dynamics so I don't need that function from the amp.  I feel the Signatures are better for my system.

I still wish I had the AMP-1.
