I've had my spirit 3 now for about 9 months I recently replaced the stock Philips driver tubes with a matched quad of 50's vintage RCA black plates from Andy Bowman of Vintage Tube Services all I can say is WOW amazing improvement, I was shocked at the increase in performance. Anyone had this amp upgrading the driver tubes is a no brainier.
ARC VSi60 vs Ayon Spirit II/III
My experiment is over, and I officially miss the valve (no offense to friends of Solid State. Most of the rest of my world is SS).
Currently have a Krell S-300i, and am looking to move into a Tube Integrated. Used to have a McCormack DNA-50 & ARC SP9 MKII, then decided to save space, and moved to an SS integrated. Space saving remains in play. No capital outlay until January, but am doing the research now, and am soliciting opinions here, at the "Oracle".
And so the quandary: ARC VSi60 vs Ayon Spirit II/III.
A show of hands...please.
