Hi,

I'd like to try driving my SL600 speakers with a valve amp. Does anyone have any advice for a valve amp virgin like myself?

I've never owned a valve amp before and have really only ever listened to one in my life. There was something about the sound that I really liked... I just couldn't put my finger on it...

I'm very comfortable with SS amps (my own journey has taken me through class A/B, A and now D). But I feel completely lost when considering valve amps - it just seems like a complete mine field out there. Where should I start?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Mani.
