I have to tell you I could not tell my ICEpower units apart from the Parasound Halo amps I bought, so I sold the Parasound. :)
Class D ICEpower 1200as2 vs. Purifi 1ET7040SA amplifiers
Greetings,
Has anyone compared the ICEpower 1200as2 vs. Purifi 1ET7040SA amplifier in their hifi setup? Legacy Audio uses the ICEpower module in their i-V2 Ultra and Doug Schroeder did a nice review on it. I first read about the i-V2 Ultra in Doug's review on the Pure Audio Project Trio15/Coax10 review. I just ordered these speakers, so I am interested in this amp. I researched a myriad of class D amps and I've narrowed down my interest to the following; GaNFet (AGD Audion), Purifi (Apollon w/Sparkos opamp), MOSFET (Bel Canto REF601M) and ICEPower (Legacy Audio I-V2 Ultra).
I know ICEpower modules are older class D technology, but if they are equal or outperform the latest offerings, that's all that matters to me. Plus, I understand they are reliable as they have been around for a long time.
I owned PS Audio's M700's and S300 amps which use ICEPower modules and they sounded really good, but I sold them several years ago to explore the world of tubes. I'm back to solid state now and interested in the latest class D offerings.
Any impressions/experience with the icepower 1200as2 vs. Purifi 1ET7040SA amplifiers are welcomed. I've already read good reviews on both of them, so a comparison between the two would be most helpful. In addition, let me know if you have compared any of the class D amps in my list in the first paragraph. I understand I need to hear them for myself, but I still appreciate your opinions!
Thanks in advance

@erik_squires I appreciate your feedback. I’ve been getting that type of feedback from a lot of reviews and forums concerning the latest offerings from class D amps vs. owner’s expensive solid state or tube class A & AB amps. So, it’s good to hear the technology is improving!
Thanks |
