What are your favorite Tube AMPs?
I've been curious about Tube AMPs for a bit and I've decided I want to invest $1000 in one. So far I'm looking at the Woo Audio WA7 Gen 3 & the Feliks Audio ECHO 2. I'll be using the Focal Clear MG as my main and from time to time I'll switch to the HD800s.- noblevo
