Are you a DIY type? Nelson Pass has provided many amplifier designs to the DIY community. Anything from 5 W/ch up to 100 W/ch, all biased into Class A. I have built the Aleph-J (25 W/ch) which is based on the original Aleph series of amplifiers with J-FET inputs instead of MOSFETs. A very popular design is the F5 (25 W/ch) and the F5 turbo (50 W/ch). Both the Aleph-J and F5 were sold under the First Watt brand as well, but can be hard to find on the used market.
Pure Class-A Amp under $2000 (USED)
Hello everyone,
There are so many brands out there that I couldn't catch up with, so I opened a thread about Class-A Amp for discussion. My budget is around $2000 for a Stereo Amplifier (No need for Pre), could you guys help me to suggest me some?
- DAC: Exogal Comet
- Pre/Amp: Yamaha Intergrated A-9 (My current, but want to update)
- Speaker: Sonus Faber Venere 2.0
- Cable: Acrolink (Power, Interconnect, Speaker)
=> I think the wattage range between 30-60WPC for Class-A is powerful and popular. The production date of amplifier should not too old, I think after 199x is nice.
