Amp/Preamp Asylum Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here. |
|
This is just a first impression. It's a brand new unit out of the box, Unmodified!For reference, I have AudioPhysic Virgo speakers, XXXXX British reference integrated amplifier, Van Den hul interconnectis and speaker cables..
Initial sound was, eh, dynamic but tizzy.
Over the hours the tizzy sound has diminished (10+ hours), but the dynamic sound has not.
Now, after 25+ years of audiophilism, I don't want to go overboard, but this amp is crazy good sounding! You would have to spend , "I don't know how much to equal" this sound quality. IT's really better than most "hi-fi " set ups. I would say based on experience that it would take 10K+ to equal or better the $400 sound available here.If you are in the market for a stereo or HT amp look no further! This is IT!
