It appears the particular DNA1, as you selected above, has been overhauled, so, imo, you are good to go. Odyssey, although excellent, is a very warm sounding amp, if you like that. The CJ as well. The particular Classe has less " balls ", or " oompf ". Not a tube fan, with maggies, and not a Class D fan, at least not those above. Too bad you cannot hear them all, as you are getting opinions, mine included, as to what each of us likes. But for me, the Vidar or the DNA 1. Enjoy ! MrD.
Used Amp Under $1000
Howdy y’all. After perusing this and USAM forums I’ve identified a handful of amps that seem pretty good. I’ll be using this amp with a McCormick TLC-1 Pre and Magnepan MG1’s. Please tell me your thoughts on which I should buy, why and what I might have overlooked.
Thanks!
