Bel Canto evo's

Can I get some comments in regards to how Bel Canto evo amplifiers compare to quality linear amplifiers such as the Odyssey Stratus, PASS or equal. I remember BCs being the hot ticket when they were new but seemed to have cooled in popularity over time. Are the digital amplifiers at a decidedly disadvantage in some applications or with some speakers? Or, maybe just a little too much money for the watts? Will the digial revolution succeed?

The SLVR was my favorite out of a lot of highll regarded cords including palladium and elrod standard. It was the cheapest also. They all were very good however. I don't know about the evo2, when I auditioned it one of the allen screws was stripped and I couldn't look inside. I would think it would help as the solen and Auricap are only 100, 10, and 1 uF placed close to the TRIPATH module for current demands during fast transients and on the 200.2 at least all of the bulk capacitance was spaced quite a ways from the module. Any wiring between the capactiors and the module will have be inductive with an impedance that will cause the voltage to droop during transients.

Thanks...

I have not looked inside mine yet but i will. Sounds
like the caps are aranged in a pretty typical config
hopefully they are hitting the pwr plane at the 100 with
only surface connections thru the 10 & 1 after that to the module. I will take a look...

Thanks..

Sorry, I need to start proof reading my posts. The smaller solen and auricaps (100, 10, 1) were the ones that I added to the Evo. I purchased them from percy audio.
