Buckeye amps

M8.
If I was in the US, I would look at Buckeye.

But the ones you are scheduled to hear on Sunday would be my choice in the antipodes.

And Nord amps are located somewhere else entirely (I think).

I know there’s a long wait time about 10 to 12 weeks. Nord is about 2 weeks so I ordered a Nord Hypex. They are in the UK. I’ve heard purifi amps and hypex there’s no sonic difference so I went with the higher power lower cost hypex.

Nord (UK), Apollon (Austria), Rouge (Italy).

ATM in Spain (Valencia) is very interesting, but doesn't manufacture for the US market.  https://atm-audio.com/

There is a 93 page thread over at ASR. You can also email the owner. He is very responsive. I put down a deposit for a 6 channel Hypex model for upgrading my home theater.

Here is a thread dedicated to the Purifi Amps:

@holmz Regrettably I have a heavy cold and in deference to other attendees I won't be attending Alan March's presentation today. I have tried repeatedly to phone,. message, email Alan since Friday morning but he has not responded. Very disappointing from  a potential buyer viewpoint.

@djones51  there seem to be numerous Nord Hypex models  so which one did you buy and how do you rate it?

I ordered the Nord One NC500 DM dual mono. I haven't received  it yet . My speakers are 4 Ohm which goes down to 3.4 Ohm at 100hz so they aren't the easiest load. 

Op, when a proprietor is at a show is no time to call on the telephone, either email and wait or go in person. Since you're ill that leaves you with email. Good luck, I'm sure it'll work out.

In his defence, maybe he was flying.
(But I cannot maintain synch with him either.)

Hope you feel better soon.

Old mate is about an hour away from the demo, but he is also not able to go.

Anybody get the "Mono Purifi 1ET7040SA Amplifier, v2" from Buckeye Amps?

I replaced a pair of (fully upgraded by Wilson Shen) Clayton M300 mono block amps w/ Buckeye 7040 mono block amplifiers about three days ago. Dylan at Buckeye indicated that burn in improvement, if there is any would be minimal. So far I like what I’m hearing, but on some recordings there seems to be a tonal richness and feeling that you’re inside the music with the Clayton amps that I’m now missing I’ll probably use the M300 amps during the cool months of the year, and go w/ the Buckeyes when it’s hot outside. They’ve only been in for only a couple of days… so the verdict is still out. For sure they are ridiculously good at this price point. 

I just discovered Buckeye Amplifiers from the Stereophile review here.  They seem to be a great sonic bargain offering low noise floors and up to high powered amplification in a small package.  

Ironically the Buckeye amp(s) that Stereophile reviewed had defective Purifi modules, hence the poor test results.

There will be an updated review in July of 2025.

I felt bad for Dylan who has worked so hard to get some respect (other than ASR).

That said, I prefer class D with linear power supplies; ATI and Axiom to name a couple of mfg's that use that approach.
