VTV Purifi amp models
I am considering a Purifi amp from VTV. Today I have a pretty high end SET amp (Viva Aurora monos) which I am likely to keep and a set of Tube Research Samson monos (Solid state 300W/8 ohms). I am driving a pair of Green Mountain Audio C3-HX speakers (92-ish db efficient and first order crossovers) as well as occasionally pair of updated Klipsch Chorus II when I want to rock the house :-) My questions are as follows: 1) Has anyone tested any of the VTV Purifi amps and if so did you have a chance to compare to other top flight Class A or AB amps? How do the stack up sonically? I have read great technical things about the Purifi amp from Bruno and others. While I have not tested any Class D amps in my system I have been skeptical that they can deliver the musical goods. 2) In the VTV Purifi line up I can see going with the monoblocks vs the stereo so you get two power supplies instead of one. I am curious if anyone has experience with the monos with the 3000w power supply to know what else it buys you. I would of course opt for the input board that lets me pick different op amps to give me some flexibility in tailoring the sound.
I know Ric over at EVS is modding these and am not sure if I would go down that path...So my initial interest in thestock performance. Thanks in advance for any insights.

This guy has got good
Purifi 1ET400A
pricing which is in $au that equates to $1696usd for this stereo amp. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hamersley/stereo-systems/purifi-1et400a-stereo-amplifier-claas-d/125... I'm listening at the moment to his Hypex NC500 monoblocks (Belcanto Ref 600 monos copy) but with big linear power supply. Cheers George |
I have Hypex NC500 module’d monoblocks here at the moment, which are the same as the Belcanto Ref M600 monoblocks, except for they have Linear Power Supplies (LPS) instead of Switch Mode Supply (SMP) ones. And as much as I thought the Belcanto’s Ref’s mono’s were one of the better Class-D’s that I have heard, I much prefer these, with a large linear power supply that use 3kva toroidal, fast 120A Schottky rectifiers, and 60000uF many small matrixed capacitors per channel for very low ESR.
