Someone may ask you just buy a vintage piece by existing 40 decades of reviews , but how to buy a contemporary amplifier?
Simple, same method to look for NEGATIVE reviews FIRST, after that correlating and sifting positive reviews...
But because the amplifier is contemporary i will add a feature that will separate it from all the others : S.Q/ price ratio coming from an INNOVATIVE technology and very important: an affordable price...
How many contemporary amplifiers had no negative review under 10,000 bucks and an innovative revolutionary mode of working?
I will not name it and being accused here of making hype publicity...
But i discovered one that will beat my 100 bucks Sansui and even the other more refined Sansui i had bought in my Sansui fever...
But think about a 100 bucks piece of gear upgraded by a 7,000 thousand dollars improvement...
Now the only measurement that count for me,save acoustic one, are the S.Q./price ratio....
