The Best Amplifier Ever ?


OK, let's get the straight scoop! Stereophile reviewers want to push the Halcro dm58 (and presumably the dm68) into a newly formed A+ category because it is the best amplifier ever. For a moment, let's assume something like a "best" can exist, at least for one person at a time. Is this the end for all other amps in the proximate price range? Paul Bolin used words like "jaw dropping" and "utter disbelief" -- Oh I know that journalists like that kind of thing, but Mr. Bolin basically says that nothing else comes close to comparison. No contest. Not in the same league. Even in Stereophile, I can't recall something quite that glowing (except maybe for the Boulder 2008 phono preamp). What do you think?

Ed .. clearly beauty is in the eye of the beholder (or beerholder). I thought that amp looked like a high end food processor.
Zaikesman, I used both of those amps back in high school with my band, I second your nominations, deleted though they may be from the rankings! Always liked that Ampeg...
I stand for ORPHEUS headphone system amp with ear-speakers that no amp/speaker combo can beat under any circuimstances.
