Hello. I am wondering if anyone has had an opportunity to make a direct, head-to-head comparison of the Purifi-based stereo (i.e., 2-channel) amplifier offerings from Buckeye and VTV. I have read glowing reviews of both amps, and the Buckeye is priced similarly to Purifi's base model (without an op-amp upgrade).
Some reviews say that the Weiss op-amp ups the game substantially for the VTV Purifi amp. But it also nearly doubles the price! The Weiss OP2-BA op-amp, used by VTV, costs only $169 retail. I wonder why it makes the amp's price so much higher. Maybe it's just a huge markup by VTV (because they can do so), or is there a lot of labor involved in installing it? If you have done a head-to-head comparison, please let me know the results in terms of sound quality and also which op-amp module was in the VTV.
Many thanks,
Mike
