[ThomasD]

Just get my AVM 6.3  and the first impression is absolut good , so i am very glad , avay from a compagny who Don,t. Respekt there clients , all of us who bye expert , that is Why i say bye bye to devialet .And i Don,t expert a lot of contact from AVM that is nothing they promised , it was another thing With Devialet.

 Good luck with it mate. Don't forget to write your listening expressions here.

I would like to comment this even if now experience of AVM 6.3. My experience of tube amps is that they often have a nice warm sound but not always accurate. Many of them can have a weak spot in the higher frequency range and maybe in dynamics. Also they are often not very efficient  if class A which maybe is a disadvantage when thinking about efficiency and greenhouse effects..

I have compared many amps and in general I prefer class A then D and last A/B, if they are well built. But class A is no good idea for C1. My fiend has modified Quad speakers and largest Quad class A tube amp and that works quite well but not better than my set up with c1 and Expert amp!!

I have no problems with lacking updates as my Expert just works fine. Never had updates on previous amps.

I have been using Lyra Deros and different Benz cartridges (low output) and never had any problem with hiss in real listening environment. Must have been vey lucky   . Previously I had phono amp from ASR and it was no better that the my Expert but large and expensive.

Maybe the grass is greener in the neighbour garden but anyhow good luck with your new amp and looking forward to your listening experiences.
