I’ve got one ‘clone’ and another coming. An Accuphase A60 that prior to tariffs cost <$500 b4 shipping. It’s my new favorite amp and I think has found its
permanent home driving a pair of Castle Conway III’s. They make beautiful music together paired with a couple Rel T9i’s. Better and more long lasting satisfaction
than matched w/Elac floorstanders, or Zu’s DWIIs, or several pair of small monitors. For me, it’s a great amp and bargain. First 20wpc class A, 200wpc after.
The ‘clone’ has a high enough input impedance to match up with a Muzishare R90 tube pre purchased because of its MM/MC tube phono stage. (Try finding
a nice pre/w/phono & tube rectification for a reasonable cost). Everything’s worked out so well I’ve went ahead and ordered the Goldmund Telos 600 ‘clone’.
Years ago I heard a ‘real’ Goldmund driving the big Tannoys and the ‘sound stuck w/me’, so we’ll see. I’ll simply note that after close to 30yrs in the ‘hobby’, I’ve
more than paid for my education, it’s all good, but subjectively (that word…(-; ) the ‘clones’ represent exceptional value. The Telos also has a high enough input
impedance that I could run it off the tube preamp or try it out w/a Denafrips Athena I have downstairs. In the futur I’d like to try the ‘Dart’ or perhaps the Burmeister
monster. Most digital amps I’ve tried seem ‘soulless’, with the exception of the little Technics GX70 I own w/the GaN, LAPC, & speaker room measurements &
eArc is a sweet little unit, having the best ‘over the net’ radio tuner I’ve ever heard, nice phono stage also, but most here may not care, but boy is it a nice little amp.
As always, horses 4 courses…
