Most transparent power amp

Hi there,
i would love to hear what brand that you have experienced with transparent of sounding? The kind of transparent is similiar to solid state amp like Cello, Spectral, tube amp I would think is Counterpoint SA4.

Al's right, the F7 is far from being passive "no active components that the signal passes through"

Sorry I meant F4, the signal still still passes through active IRFP240-9240 Mosfets, so it's not passive, even if it has no gain, it's still active

I think David Berning amps have been mentioned. Linear Tube Audio amps are just as transparent and also designed by David Berning.

I believe the Benchmark amp has only 9db of at the lowest gain setting.
