I feel like i might get a more unbiased viewpoint here though.
This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in.
I am buying Dynaudio C-1 Platinums and would like an ideal amp. Which would you choose? I prefer solid state. Separates or integrated. If you could recommend a few optimum choices that would be great. Based on my short couple years on here you strike me as very knowledgable on the subject. My dealer wants me on Pass Labs. Incidentally right now I have the Devialet 400 and I’m pretty sure you are not a fan of this type of amp. Any of your wisdom is appreciated. Thanks, Mike

I've noticed the same approach by a couple of other manufacturers and also found their stereo amps sound more musical than their comparably power monos. Yes a few disadvantages happens with bridging a stereo amp, while you get more 8ohm wattage the drive-ability into low impedance's is greatly diminished. The damping factor (output impedance) of the amp is raised, therefore not having as good control over the bass. And the other is the distortion of the amp increases, and I believe also the noise.

bubba12 Why not stick with the Devialet 400 which you have, or the Pass Labs you said you could get? BTW which Pass Labs was it? All are good. Cheers George |
I’ve sold the Devialet 400. Frankly,I didn’t like it. I may still buy the Pass Labs and it would probably be 260.8 mono with the xp-12 preamplifier. In the mean time I got a decent deal on the Odyssey gear and figured I would see how pleased I could be on the cheap. I’m pretty certain that the Pass Labs are the end game but damn! So much money. |
