Entry level tube/valve amp advice

Amplification

Hi

I'm interested in getting a tube amp and was hoping someone here may have listened to a couple of the amps I'm considering. I basically got interested when I read some rave reviews about the great value of the Miniwatt S1, which has since been superseded by the N3.

As 2 of these amps are shipped directly from manufacturers I haven't been able to audition them myself. I have gone to a local stereo store and compared a Prima Luna Prologue One and the Cayin A-55TP and to my ears the Prima Luna sounded amazingly rich and superior to the Cayin.

They don't give all the details but I think I'm OK with both decisions.

I look forward to seeing who voted how.

The pianist Hank Jones died on Sunday at age 91, ending one of the great jazz dynasties (his brothers were the drummer Elvin and the trumpeter-composer Thad) and taking out one more survivor of the generation that founded post-war jazz.

Dudamel on 60 Minutes

This is a very impressive guy.
Anyone who says he can't conduct is making an indefensible statement.
DeFacto, he can conduct. He obviously has the technique and musical education to competently perform his job.

Whether one likes his interpretations and his conducting style is a different matter. It is certainly defensible to say one doesn't like his conducting.

However , many do like him , including orchestra members. Orch. players usually love to hate their conductor so that is impressive too :-)
