a very special product indeed, magic with appropriately sensitive speakers and a good source/preamp/cabling. laughably inexpensive (i didn't say CHEAP), so few of those who equate expense with quality of sound will take it seriously.

forgot to also emphasize the importance of a good, outboard power supply (13.8V, 2A, regulated). the radio shack RCA to mini-jack adapter (#274-883) is also the best way to use your own cables IMHO, but then you'll need something to hold it down! sounds best when driven by a high quality preamp with it's volume control all the way up per the 6moons review. i'm itching to hear one with the omega speakers! |
Well if you like that Doc, check this out Clari T Amp . This is supposed to be an audiophile version of the sonic impact(not a modified Sonic Impact). I'm still waiting on mine to arrive.It will be powering Omega Grande 8s as well as some Bob Brines speakers when I can get my hands on them! As usual I'm like a kid at Christmas! |
hi Gmood1, that amp looks interesting, but at nearly 17 times the price? the point is that the sonic impact IS an audiophile piece(properly implemented, with good quality cabling and PS), clunky connectors and all, and will likely go toe-to-toe with the Clari T at a paltry $29.95. i suggest an earnest comparison on your part between the two, allowing about 100 hours of break in for each. The Clari T is nice looking piece, granted. i look forward to hearing about your impressions of it. |
Hi MusicDoc... here's a small review from a old physician, that I consider a friend and trust in his comparisons of these two products.Clari T Amp intial impressions. I will eventually setup a shootout on my own in the future. Vinnie has just started his own company and leaving his corporate job as a electrical engineer.My congrats to him for having the balls to go out and make a living at something he loves. To be only 25 yrs old, he will no doubt be very successful in what ever he does! |
