Why Don't We Hear About Polyfusion More?


I have just picked up the 960 power amp and was majorly impressed by the sound and the build. Plus, it has output "meters", LED's that show the amp working. I had no idea the Maggies sucked so much power!

I am just curious why this company doesn't get more press or recognition with the audio press or audiophiles?

Way back when I recalled seeing them in Stereophile's recommneded components, say '93-94. They tended to be of a more pro-audio pedigree if I recall, at least with the market they oriented themselves too, still high-end performance and price though. I kind of wonder if they just don't/didn't care to play popularity games, especially if they have a healthy market somewhere else. I could be wrong though. But Wadia used to never submit products for reviews. And I don't know if Quicksilver still doesn't, they used to be the same way and if it got a review it was cause the reviewer owned and/or bought the thing.
I think it is correct that they just don't want to get caught up in the trappings that come with the rags. They did pour a lot of money into adverstising with Stereophile. I guess it's proves that you don't get reviews by buying ad pages in the magazines. I have been through 20 different amps over the past decade and got caught up, I think, in the gear and it's pedigree. I just got through listening to music for 7 hours straight last night. I have never done that with my previous systems. And I am using a little NAD L40 receiver with built-in CD as a source!

If you are caught up in the bane of equipment upgrade after upgrade maybe this is the cure. Afterall, Polyfusion Audio is a pro gear company and they don't have that marketing strategy of trying to get the perpetual revenue stream.

If anyone would like, I can provide the list of amps that I have had over the course of the years.
