TBT: Copland CTA 408 Vacuum Tube Integrated Amplifier Review

It has been seven years since I reviewed the Copland CTA 506 Power amp which I liked very much at the time and is still available today. From my 2012 review of the CTA 506: The Copland CTA 506 combines classic design with the latest developments in vacuum tubes to create an impressive and attractively priced power amp that seems equally at home across musical genres. It stands up well against the other power amps – tube and silicon based – that have been through my listening room. It doesn’t pretend to be the last word in power amps, but it sits at a sweet spot in the market where you’ll need to pay a lot more to eke out small performance gains in most systems.
