Hi tellefsen! I have two of Purifi Audio''s EVAL1 packages. They do not have power supplies (but you can build one for about $150), nor do they have chassis and enclosures. If you're handy, that's no problem. I can help you with those things if you like. These amp packages will outperform just about anything you may have heard. They are equal to or better than the fancy Constellation amps at $40k a pair. They consume almost no power when not playing music and have negligible noise and distortion. I know that's hard to believe. They are superb and you can build a stereo power amp for about $1000 total, less chassis & enclosure. I'll attach photos if that is allowed (nope); otherwise email me and I'll send them to you. They will astound you. More info on request.
Check out a review in Audio Express, July 2020; "The amplifier did exactly what is supposed to do, noiselessly, without stress or strain, and in a perfectly transparent way." and SoundStage, June 1, 2020 - ". . . then compared the Eigentakt (the generic Danish name of the amp) to his McIntosh MC302 stereo power amp ($5500, 300Wpc into 8, 4, or 2 ohms), and found them sonically indistinguishable -- their tonal balances were identical, and he didn’t think he heard any more or less detail with either." and "I’d been using a pair of Constellation Audio Revelation Taurus monoblocks -- massive amps that cost $40,000/pair, are specified to each output up to 500W into 8 ohms or 1000W into 4 ohms, and sound outstanding. . . it sounded as good as the Constellations. As I wrote in my review, “almost nothing about the A1s’ sound had changed -- the tonal balance was the same, the highs were just as extended and the midrange just as pure, voices were equally robust, bass just as extended, and the soundstaging and imaging were exactly as before.” What’s more, I also thought that if there were any differences in the sounds, they “were at best slight and, surprisingly, favored the Purifi.”
I have been building amps for over 40 years and have never heard anything this good. I have no financial interest in the product. I don't know who the VTV refers to in the amp you mention. It must be some outfit using the Purifi Audio modules. I'll bet they want more than $1000 for it. The ones in the EVAl1 are rated at 200 wpc at 8 ohms and 400 wpc at 4 ohms. If you're anywhere near Southern California, come by and hear it. I'm trying to figure out how to scrape enough cash together to replace the other 12 stereo amps in my various systems. I have five systems and a very tolerant wife. Keep Smiling!
