So I've been running 4 other tube amps over the past month, one being the Inspire SE EL84. My big Inspire SE HO has been sitting in the corner. This afternoon it finally got back into play.
Immediately it was obvious this was a step or two up over all the rest. Hum levels hard to detect, such clarity to the music, separation of instruments and voices much better.
Perhaps not as lush & warm as a couple of the others. But so much more natural sounding. A joy to listen to.
Did have to turn my preamp volume control up quite a bit, this amp is much less sensitive than the others, with the other Inspire being similar.
