I've heard a Purifi amp and it had a very neutral sound which is good in my book. Nice power and grip on the woofers. Clear vocals and acoustic in the mids and highs. I returned the one I had as the build quality was less than optimal. If you're looking for a stereo version Apollon Audio have them as well as monos. March also looks like good build quality and I think he's coming out with a stereo version as well.
Removing a ZERO from the price of amps

I mentioned a quote from Bruno on Computer Audiophile interview about a year ago saying the goal of Purifi is to remove a ZERO from the price of amps. Sounded very exciting a year ago and we are now getting close to getting this out to consumers.
A Benchmark AHB2 and one of these Purifi amps for me please.

The March Audio guy emailed me and said his stereo version comes out in the end of August 2020. I bought the Benchmark AHB2 last week and looking to buy a second AHB2 for mono block setup. I need a 3rd amp for my orphaned KEF LS50s and a Purifi amp is in the cards. I want to wait and see what NAD has in the cards. The should soon release a simple Purifi amp. I am not interested in the Master Series M33. |
NAD just announced their Purifi based 2-chan amplifier. https://nadelectronics.com/nad-intros-c-298-power-amplifier-with-purifi-eigentakt-amplification/ I just purchased a Benchmark AHB2 yesterday to compare with my Pass X250.8; if I don't take to it, maybe the C298 will be the next amp I try :) |
@ddafoe That c-298 is what I have been waiting for the second system. I wonder what the sonic sacrifices are in mono block form. I also have a new AHB2 and love it. Your comparison with the PASS X250.8 seems like comparing 2 totally different sonic profiles. I will be getting another AHB2 to run in mono. If you do not like yours and looking to sell hit me up with a PM. I am looking for the black version. |
Some other brands are less cagey about what else goes into the case. https://www.apollonaudio.com/apollon-audio-purifi-1et400a-stereo-amplifier-input-buffer-board/ |
