ICEpower Digital Switching Amps?

Ar t You still seem to be arguing your first point here. That is, given there is little difference between modular amps, the buyer should base their purchasing decision on, "Price, looks, support, features, and comfort level with the company that you chose to buy from will most likely be what your decision is based on."

I, and anyone who has heard a variety of those amps on my system, disagree. Their is a sonic hierarchy, just like with solid state and tube amps. One should buy the best sounding amp within their budget. That doesn't mean necessarily the most expensive one.

I'd say, if a buyer can, he should listen to his prospective purchase on his own system.

If you want, you can send one of your amps here for a group listen. There are a good number of good ears here, including one reviewer.

I agree, Tvad, except for the similarities. We are talking about amps here. They should be judged on how they sound.

They say you can tell an amp by the company it keeps.

FYI: The H2O Signature has been reviewed by 6Moons, and it has replaced admired conventional and module driven amps in home systems, including VTL225, Rogue 120, ARC VT1011, Pass X600, MC-2000, TacT 2150, eAR, Threshold S500 MKII, Music Reference RM9, Edge, Cary V12 etc. etc. etc.

Tvad- Excellent post.

I sugguest any current TacT 2150 visit: http://www.aberdeencomponents.com/

before they consider replacing their upgradeable powerdac, with an amp that requires a preamp,DAC,and does not have digital crossover or paraEq functions.
