SCIBER AMPLOI Amplifier Review

[EJ3]

$4900 for that? Uh no.

I thought that maybe meters could bring the appeal up. Then I thought: not enough, though. Perhaps 100 watts at 8 ohms + meters & I would think about it again. Maybe?

Humm, let me think, a Sciber Ampoli for $4900 or a Topping Mini 300 for around $140 ?
AHHHH.

Of course it can, and at 180 kg per mono they spared no size, whatever it is:

Hey Amir, a SUPER-FIDELITY amp. You need to measure one of these.
The "Worlds Only" none the less! LOL

Apart from what these Halcro crazies did with the rest, I'm REALLY curious to see how this current-mode input compares with its normal inputs and what it brings to the table.
I understand that this does not come from audio world but from their own field of expertise (really nice metal detectors) , same with their obsession about metals used building this amp, but I'm curious nonetheless!

But what could it bring to the table, better sound? I VERY highly doubt that. Power amps have been solved, musically transparent
problem for decades now, with the only real breakthroughs being done in design efficiency, class D and such. These "high end" people
still just piss me off with the marketing lies and all the rest.

"They position everything precisely in the soundstage due to their unique ability to avoid adding ‘ghost’ notes that are thrown into the mix by the non-linear distortion of a conventional amplifier. Lack of distortion aside, one of the many things that make Halcro amplifiers so good is the way they maintain the phase coherence of the signal source. Phase coherence is a measure of the degree to which a system maintains the relative timing of various notes or tones within complex music."

Don't want any ghosts notes or out of phase notes getting thru. What a bunch of crap!
If I needed new amps and had much deeper pockets than I do, I'd probably look to something like a Bryston. Truly built like tanks and it's
"we guarantee its excellent performance and trouble free operation for 20 years". Now there's a marketing claim you can sink your
teeth into.

Halcro's design and engineering has nothing to do with hi-end usual suspects, their late marketing though may relate a little to it, agree to that.

The idea behind them is similar to yours, someone far outside the audio hi-end world (probably as frustrated as you by claims) who just wanted to show what can be done, applying their expertise gained by other,far more demanding fields .

Far from SQ of course, that's solved for decades, it's more the engineering principles applied correctly and at a no cost object design?
Bragging rights can be justified here, allover.

And then came marketing, as in everything.

AHHHH.

But I was led to believe you were/are a multi-channel fan.
$36,750 versus $1,050 would be a real-world comparo, if you needed amplification for 15 channel!
