Removing a ZERO from the price of amps

All the (good) companies that make the Purifi based amps use the same bones.....well, except the chassis.....which are all plain......but you might like one over the other.  The insides are all the same.....1200 watt Hypex power supply, Purifi module and input board all made almost identical to each other using Sparko labs regs and a choice of input op amps.  This is all I need to make a super thang.....because I change everything that matters.  VTV is cheapest in the US, offers a 30 day money back on their amps and has free shipping.   They can also do some custom stuff that no one else is currently offering.  I just talked to them today.  How about a 3000 watt power supply for a stereo or mono block?   They can do this.  Probably kick it up a notch......bigger power supplies are generally a good thing!

I just received the latest Stereophile and Herb Reichert just reviewed a Purifi based amplifier built in North Conway NH.   After opening with how he generally dislikes the sound of class-D, he gives this LKV amplifier a very good review and the measurements are deemed excellent.   At 50lb it is ~1/2 the weight of my Pass amplifier and I'm hoping my next amplifier will be that weight or less :)   This amp's MSRP is still on par with my Pass but hopefully over time cheaper variants that still sound very good will be a common thing...

How much is this latest LKV amp?  The earlier version released last year was $8500 with NC500 modules....this is suppose to be better because of the Purifi modules and ?

Over time?......How about now! Modified VTV mono block amps using highly tweaked Purifi modules and 3000 watt power supplies, etc.....available for $3300+......15? lbs each.....or how about a !5 lb. stereo amp with single 1200 watt supply.....fully tweaked.....$2400. See my link above. We will have a tour of the cheaper one in about a month.....and then maybe a tour of a pair of 3000 watt power supply monos....a little later. Hearing is believing.

Why are people looking to Class D to “save” money on a power amp.  I have tried a dozen in the last twenty years and see value in all types.  For those who can afford zero feedback and tube output, there is no comparison.  Sorta separates the men from the boys.  Someday class D will rule, but class A is the king right now, like it should
