14 DAY TRIAL // Vacuum tube amplifiers have always worn the "exclusive" tag for the last years. Even if they still represent the simple and almost "innocent" dawn of the electronic era and are looked at by many as the pure expression of old and vintage, the tube amplifiers have gained a lot of fans during their history. From the blues masters to the death metal guitarists and from the recording studio engineers to discerning audiophiles, those who know what sound really is own or crave for serious tube-loaded gear.[admark=1]
Chris Siegmund is a name well-know in the "exclusive industry" and these days Siegmund gear became even more exclusive and purist. I guess it's hard to tell who will dare speak against the Diamond, the latest Siegmund creation - a tube amplifier so vintage and so special that it makes people hold their words for a long time at first sight.
The Diamond is a resonating 300B amp for all sorts of stringed instruments, both acoustic and electric and its architecture makes it more than special and unique: there are no resistors and capacitors in the way of the signal as you'd most probably expect. The signal flow is distortion-free in the range and has no limitations: basically, this is what "pure sound" really means - as little coloration as possible.
The resonance of the 300B Diamond is completely natural and comes from the very interaction between the signal flow and the tube circuitry and this feature lets the full expressivity of the instrument come forth and shine bright. The Sigmund Diamond comes in perfect conjunction with the matched JBL D130 mahogany cabinet and this way we can speak about one of the world's finest clean tube amplifiers ever.
The Diamond sports a Class A 30W power rating and the user can put a large selection of premium tubes to good use with this extraordinary piece of tech. It comes at a very special price: $2,995 (without tubes) and $999 for the cabinet.
