Thank you. Very interesting take. It's difficult to let go of my possibly out of date audiophile mentality - heat sinks important, dual power supplies good, monoblocks better than stereo amps, etc.
Follow up question -- the other difference between these amps are the input boards. I don't know if it actually makes any difference in the sound, but I do know that I'd like the option to swap in different input modules and see if it makes any difference for myself.
Are any of these brands'...
I'm going to buy a Hypex or Purifi amp, a fairly powerful stereo amp (Hypex NC500 or NC502MP, 1ET400A or 1ET704SA)
I've done a lot of research and am looking at many of the usual suspects for manufacturers:
- March Audio
- Deer Creed Audio
- Buckeye
- NAD
- Apollon
- KJFAudio
- Boxem
