Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail!

I suggest you listen to the Mola Mola Perca.

Maximum resolution and detail should NOT impair musicality. When it does, IME, it is because resolution and detail are confused with distortion.

IMO, to maximize resolution and detail without increasing distortion requires components of the highest quality. Naturally, manufacturers don't want to spend big bucks on 50 resistors at $10 each, and air gap capacitors at $100, so they only use these at the most critical points of the topology, if at all. So if you want that quality, be prepared to spend big big bucks or build it yourself.

DIY forever!

You'll laugh, but here it goes: I recently picked up a pair of Fosi V3 Monos and after adding the Sparkos opamp, I heard some subtle things on some my test tracks that I'd not heard before.  Or maybe hadn't noticed before. 

Some amps I've had or still have:  VTL monos, Cary 805s, Aleph 3, Aleph 2, AES SixPacs, Inspire triode, James Burges 2A3/45 and many more.

IMO, some of the newer, inexpensive gear are killin' it.

@audiodwebe  , how did you feel about the 805s?

You did not mention $$ budget , there are many great amplifiers if money is no object ,being into Audio for decades ,owning a Audiostore for a decade and semi retired now travel to many audio get togethers and have heard most equipment that’s brought into the U.S and many shoot outs between components of all types. Having owned 6 figure audio systems in the past, Now I seek out the best sounding products for the least amount of monies ,that is much harder to achieve and have found a bunch of equipment for all types of taste .System, synergies is the most important part in building a solid audio system . You are only as strong as your weakest link in the chain. Many people over look more things then they think is Relevant

i don’t have a budget...well, actually, the limit may be around 30k or under this year, but, it can be anything next year. But, won’t be paying audio jewelry fluff price for stuff that doesn’t meet the requirement. I"ve heard some in the upper price tier that isn’t more detailed than at least one of my current amps. In other words, It can be ugly as sin, but, if it meets the detail requirement, I’ll take it.

I just wanna keep it simple. All else in the chain including the linestage being the same, what is a power amplifier change only that boosted perceived detail...I understand that there’s synergy and can tweak my way all day long into moving the needle back/forth for my personal taste.

I have heard/had some amps, but, just don’t have the ability to know what all’s out there or who came up with some new circuit, etc.
