I would agree that although DF is a factor that needs consideration there are additional variables involved that also influence amplifier and Nenuphar compatibility. People are expressing happiness with the Bakoon 13R driving the Nenuphar so something is obviously going right to make this possible.

Speaking of different solid state amplifiers, I was doing some reading on damping factors and came across a link to two Gold Note amplifiers out of Italy, the IS-1000 (integrated) and the PA-1175 (power amp). Both models have a DF option which can be changed on the fly. The high setting has a DF of 250 while the low setting is at 25.

Has anybody listened to one of the Gold Note amps?

@rwpollock Not an answer to your question, and it's been stated earlier in the thread, but just keep in mind that adjustable damping factor and adjustable levels of negative feedback are (always?) synonyms. Might be useful for expanding your amp search if you've been looking for amps with adjustable df...

I just ran into the damping factor thread and see the above comment was completely unnecessary. Sorry Robert.

Hi cal,

However you made a valid point. Negative feedback (NFB) level manipulation does affect these amplifier parameters.

1 Gain output decreases as NFB is increased..

2 Output impedance decreases as NFB increases.

3 Damping Factor increases as NFB increases.

Output impedance and Damping Factor have an inverse relationship.
