Viva vs. WAVAC amps

Viva are fantastic.

Few days ago I had an audition with Viva LineaXP preamp and Mactone X25 preamp. The setup was tuned with Mactone and the owner was unhappy.
Then Viva entered the system and right out of the box and for a healthy 3 hours happy listening and smiles from all the participants. A phono shoot out betwen Viva and Wavac will follow.

The MActone owner was wondering why both units costs the same and the performance is night and day for Viva of course.

I think that there are many overrated japaneese audio gear out there, of course Viva has no advertisement and promotion but has many happy users in the U.S.

I own a Viva Solista, a true keeper... Has it almost all there, dynamics, transparency but overall tone rendering at is best.

Holy back from the dead threads - Nine years later, an update! That has to be an A'gon record.

The latest generation Viva audio products are so much better and making impact to the real music lovers

Late last year upgraded to a pair of Viva Verona XL 845/211 monoblocks - still using the Viva Linea preamp but now fitted with high quality remote facility.

Best amps I have heard to date, period; they are sublime - rest of kit CEC TLO transport through DCS Elgar/Purcell DAC/Upsampler and at the end pair of Verity Parsifal Encores. Best system I have ever put together in over 40 years of playing with hi-fi.
