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! |
Here's the impressions a week later on the CTA. |
thanks Gmood1. the main comment that caught my eye was that the Clari T eclipsed the battery powered T amp. one shouldn't even consider the battery powered T amp--just with a big outboard power supply. even then the outlay still wouldn't exceed $75 (15% the cost of the Clari T). one must factor the extreme price differential into the comparison. now don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to start a pissing contest here. i'm sure both products (as well as the Teac) are excellent, and there's always going to be that drive for an "audiophile" version of more basic (albeit excellent in their own right) products. i can only say personally that i am not in the least compelled to audition a Clari T at this point in time, but am very interested in keeping abreast of others thoughts and impressions. that may change. my congrats to vinnie for pursuing his passion. |
