Digital Amps? Marketing Hype?

Jlamb,

I have been running a Bel Canto EVO for about a year now
and couldent imagine being with out it. I cannot find a
weakness with it. No hype just stellar performance.
I think for the price its a "steal"... I have also heard many good things about the Spectron... In fact the Spectron may be a better bang for the buck buy?.. But like i said i couldent imagine being without the Bel Canto. I havent heard much about the Tact.

Here are some direct links to the Bel Canto EVO white
paper and the Spectron amp details. These should answer
most of your questions.. I dont think someone could go
wrong with either one of these..

I am interested in digital amps also. However, checking the forum archives, i found that some of the 'uncompromising' supporters of digital amps (BC evo and Spectron) replaced (some are selling them right now) their amps for the tube amps...?

Eldragon,

I think its only fair that we "drop some names" here?

Mine isnt fot sale and the only tube amps i will be
buying in the next couple years are tube guitar amp heads
and believe me they are not doing "exactly" what i
want... I would prefer a much "stronger", "faster"
response than im getting. But its the best we have now.
We are getting close to a better solution.

I think you can find that ANY widely selling audio device will be strongly represented on the used market pretty quickly. It is not a reflection on quality but on the nature of audiophiles.

Kr4, I agree... Its inevitable.

I do like to see people put disclaimers in their posts though. It just makes more ethical sense to me when someone is talking favorably about a piece of gear and they have it up for sale.
