![]() ![]() The Unison Research Triode 25 Integrated Amplifier currently under review sounds absolutely stellar and I’m rather smitten. Cheap Russian 300B replacements lasted two years before I sold the amplifier. I have just never had a lot of luck with tube gear that has proven very reliable the truth is that the tubes were almost always the culprit and that includes some Western Electric 300Bs that detonated for no apparent reason and I balked at spending over $800 (more than 20 years ago) to replace them. Having owned a Wavelength Audio Duetto, Fi X, and Emotive Audio Sira, it is fair to say that I am someone who enjoys a good light show. Nothing looks sexier than a restored pair of Quad ESLs or MartinLogan CLZ IIz in a post-modern living room. ![]() ![]() None of them were weird looking or so outlandish that I lay in bed at night sweating next to my spouse knowing that she would divorce me (again) if I made the decision to acquire one. The Decware SuperZen Triode makes that list without too much effort. Over the past 23 years, I have had the opportunity to listen to more products than I can possibly remember the truly superb ones that left such an impression that I contemplated selling an organ or getting a third job - I would say that number is under 20.
