Description: Finally, John gave me a chance to demo the latest iteration of The Nines.


The system we used to demo the prototype Nines was made of a Solen Solo integrated amp and a California Audio Labs Delta and Alpha combination CD player.


The Solo, John told me, "immediately became the Ensemble B-50 Tiger integrated amp when Solen of Canada objected to sharing its name. Only a few were made under the old name, and I'm fairly sure nothing was changed beyond the name. As the Ensemble Tiger it gathered a great reputation and helped launch Ensemble in the US. It's a little 50 watt hybrid using tubes in the preamp section and transistors in the power amp section."

Notice, of course, The Wall of Bitchin' Amps and Cabinets (WBAC). "Sometimes we reach some really mind-boggling volumes in here," John said.
