Best Tube poweramp only ?

[savant421]

Wrong, "it crushes all" is a stupid comment. It has a flavor, runs on 6l6 and is if not one of the best ever made but cannot represent all tones. If someone wants a flat power amp that doesn't color the tone then the S400 crushes nothing. It comes down to what someone wants to achieve.

Well....mine runs of mix of EL34 and 6L6 and of the ones I've heard (Peavey, VHT) it definitely "crushes" so....yah. VHT is amazing as well and so is the Peavey Classic power amps but but the strategy amps just seem to have a warmth the others don't

selling it with the E530, Furman and SKB rack as a package; local pickup due to the weight.

Sounds like my intended rig. I have an E530 too. Where is local for you?
