In Spain too... we need to shift our references... Search engines don't help neither due to their tendency to concentrate, and once a trend has been established, it's quite difficult to overcome. I'm happy every time I found ASR on the first page on google when searching for a device. The idea of a thread for each review is quite effective as it creates more content associated with the search tags.
Where are you eyeballing this? You mean phono input? You mean RIAA accuracy?
Just the 1st plot shown in the Phono Stage measurements. For instance, at 20hz the CH2 2 looks to be about -1.2dBr and at the peak of that channel, around 3khz, it is about 0.5dBr, for a difference of 1.7dB, which is what I would consider the flatness to be for that channel. The channels appear to be matched to with 0.5dB. Since we are talking about vinyl, it is probably good enough for my older ears...
What has become of British hifi? There isn't a single amp designed in the UK in the top section of the ASR comparison chart. I discount the Nord amps since they just use off the shelf Hypex amp modules from The Netherlands.
You don't get any more choices than I have in selecting a panther.
The rating is decided by the members. Theres no system.
That does not refflect the industry. It just shows the willingness of the owners to send their amps for testing.
Don’t Keep your hopes up, what is true for UK is true for the whole Planet. All the amps on this comparison. chart (SINAD chart)) in this top section are Hypex-Purifi amps, all but one.
Actually there’s two - the Benchmark AHB2 and Neurochrome Modulus-286. I’m a very happy owner of the Modulus-286 and a big fan of @tomchr work.
The whole planet? Amps designed in Canada, US, China, Netherlands are all represented in the top group.
Less price... which may skew presentation (pecking order) in the BIG chart but would be near-impossible to normalize for $$.
It was replying to a comment. according to his premisse to atribute the performance of the amp to the manufacturer of the module instead of the builder of the amp. Which is not fully false.
Well, there’s always the option of removing more limbs from a selected panther of your choosing Amirm. The fire hose Panther is a bit ambiguous. Perhaps you could give it a more defined purpose?You don't get any more choices than I have in selecting a panther.
