Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland


What would it be? Transistor or Hybrid. This is a general discussion.
I heard that Gryphon and Ypsilon qualify but I didn't audition either. Lamm hybrid does too, I believe.

Hi Larryi,
I have not heard these Swedish amplifiers. A friend of mine heard the original version of them at their debut during CES 2009. He said they were èxtraordinarily transparent and utterly natural. He was very impressed with their presentation.

Another curiosity generating all out assault 300b amplifier is is the Swiss made  Da Vinci Preziosa.
Charles,

It was Tenor, Vitus and the BAT REX gear, then a couple weeks ago I got to sit in front of three different AudioNet systems. So now it's,

AudioNet by a large margin, then Tenor BAT REX and Vitus . 

@tom_hankins What qualities of Audionet did  you like? In addition, what SS brands have compared it to?
High resolultion with the best SS amps I've heard. Think Soulution.  Deep, dense, textured images like the Tenor and BAT, Hybred/tube amps. Does space and air really well too. I had never heard any of there products, listened to 3 different systems that were all Audionet and YG Acoustics.  Bought the stereo amp, one week later traded up to the monos.  They make my system sound less like a system. Lots of reviews out there on them.

A real sleeper - great sounding amps that can go head to head with anything!
