deHavilland Aries 845-G
30 Watt Single Ended Triode Monoblocks
"The Aries is a bane for all those trying to sell less for a lot more cash. In my book this is one of the best sounding SE amps money can buy.

The Type 845 directly heated triode vacuum tube is justly famous for its huge soundstage, sweet tone, and authoritative presentation of music. The tube compliment combined with innovative circuitry maintains the right combination of pace, rhythm, and timing.. The deHavilland Aries 845G is designed to drive medium, as well as high efficiency speakers. he dynamic presentation is characteristic of an amplifier many times greater than its rated output
There is no question of reliability with only three tubes per chassis. Diagnosing any tube problems that might occur after time is relatively simple.
