@defiantboomerang - you're entitled to your opinion. Now on to my opinion on what are some alternatives: Conrad Johnson - http://conradjohnson.com/cav45-stereo-control-amplifier/ Decware Torii - http://www.decware.com/newsite/TORII.htm Decware ZMA - http://www.decware.com/newsite/MYSTERY.html Cary Audio - https://www.caryaudio.com/products/sli-80/ I am a big tube supported, and I personally own a few Decware pieces that I absolutely enjoy listening to. You could call my a fan boy but man to me, they just sound so damn good. Transparency, unbelievable detail and slam in spades. |
Many nice suggestions. Thank you very much. @corelli You are right, I was too vague in my original post. Tried to make it more precise, though. The VAC Phi 200 looks spectacular. So does the Conrad Johnson CAV-45. And the SLI-80 is just almost perfect (don’t really like the tilted output transformers too much). But didn’t the Stereophile measure a Cary Audio amp some time ago and found it to be so bad from the technical perspective that they called it a joke?
