[Review] The Ultimate in Driving Power! A Perfectly Tuned Vacuum Tube Hybrid Riviera Audio AFM100SE.

Outstanding review! The best I’ve found available online for the Riviera APL01SE and AMP100SE! I own the Gobel Divin Marquis and would love to hear, based on your taste, what you believe would be the best pairing: CH Precision or Riviera. I’m grappling with purchasing the Riviera line stage and amplifiers without having heard them in my system (difficult to demo) based on the rave reviews of the chemistry they share with Gobel loudspeakers, but that takes a big leap of faith. Lastly, I own the new MSB Cascade DAC and am wondering whether it’s superb pre amplifier stage would eliminate the need of the APL01SE, or to achieve the Riviera magic, as good as the Cascade pre amp may be, the APL01SE is a necessity when using the AMP100SE. Would appreciate your thoughts! Thx

If you’re using the Göbel Divin Marquis, both CH Precision and Riviera would be great matches. CH Precision will provide a more refined and powerful sound, while pairing with Riviera amps will deliver a more vibrant and musically rich presentation. The direct connection of the MSB Cascade DAC is excellent, but adding the APL01SE preamp would bring greater stability and enhanced musicality. Thank you.

@ Thank you so much for sharing your perspective. You’ve had the opportunity to experience the sonic signature of these components first hand, so your input is highly informed and very helpful. Love your channel. By far one of the most intelligent and thoughtful hifi review resources available!

Excellent video review. Would love to hear these amps with Zellaton speakers. Hopefully you will get the Zellaton speakers in your room some day and match them with these Riviera amps. Many thanks for sharing.

You’re welcome! That combination would surely be amazing. Hopefully, we can make it happen in the future!
