Most resolving, transparent amps.


What has your experience been in amplifiers?

The most transparent, detailed amps you've encountered.
I like to hear everything that's going on and follow the different lines and instruments but it does need to come together musically.
Dead quiet, black background, dimesnional, layered, imaging, open, extended top end - all qualities of top amps, I think. Let the music come through as it was put on the disc - no editorializing.

What have you found?

LEt me also include the ability to portray space, decay and ambience - which to me are all signs of getting the frequency extremes correct and a very high signal to noise ratio.
NuForce Reference 9SE gets my vote so far, and it's a very musically satisfying amp, as well. I'm having mine upgraded to the Version 2 model, which is supposed to be noticeably better... Hard to believe, but I guess I'll know in a couple of weeks!
The BAT 150SE was the one for me. I currently added the VK52SE and even without the break in period complete, I am very impressed with the combo.
