Wow!! Looks really good. Thanks for the video review Amir.

In before... " but what does it sound like?"

 

[amirm]

Glad you asked. Everything I fed it, it played backwards! Then I realized I had the input connected to its output and vice versa! Corrected that and everything sounded great.....

Will there be any noticeable improvement in the Sparkos edition ?

Okay sooo ... with 25.5 db voltage gain HPA-S400ET would not be a good bi-amping match (for bass) to my beloved Quad 909 (29.7db) ... too bad .

All that empty space in the case ... They should put a rasberry pi 4 in there

I ordered my audiophonics HPAS400Et today! My current daily is a Yamaha A-S1100. Though not the same as an A-S2100, I'll gladly report on my comparison-findings on this forum.

My hpa-s400et arrived two days ago and in short: I've now got a Yamaha A-S1100 for sale.
