I have the pass x350.8 and its a great amp but I am looking for something warmer and more euphonic but that still retains the detail and clarity of possible. Running yamaha ns5000.
I recently was loaned a pair of Conrad Johnson LP140m monoblocks and in terms of tone and euphonics this is what I am looking for but the problem is I don't want to spend $500-1000 changing tubes every 2-3 years. So thats why I am trying to find something SS with similar sound quality. The Pass also has clarity, detail and dynamics the CJ doesn't have.
My current pre is bottlehead moreplay.
Budget is sub $20k,
