In Reply to: Will Be Trying Teac Digital Amp posted by Todd Krieger on August 22, 2004 at 14:56:26:
I got the TEAC several months ago and have ran it over 300 hours. Playing just stock, was disappointing. It never really began to show any real promise, with thin bass and only decent mids and mediocre highs. It only sounded okay, but not great. I understand that the digital amps can take forever to break in, but I just kinda gave up and ordered a JVC RX-F10. Outa the box, it sounded damn good. Way better than the TEAC, and seems to be steadily improving.There's something about the JVC's sound that is appealing, smooth, rich and deep. The highs are still a bit forward and slightly harsh, but I've only got 50 hours on it. I'm delighted at this point. I do wonder about this digital sound. Its wonderful, but its different...it doesn't sound "organic" to me, but it has some sort of clear 'hyper-reality' to it. I do think its really really good. If money were no object, perhaps I would get an expensive tube set-up, but listening to it is quite pleasurable, and I couldn't justify an extra $2-3000 to refine the sound another 5%. But that's just me and my situation right now.
