Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail!
I am assuming some of you have experienced the following.... All else being the same in the chain, you replaced a power amplifier and started hearing more resolution and detail, perhaps a lil more in a track that you have heard a thousand times.
Ime, the higher you go up in price doesn't necessarily guarantee that you could experience the above mentioned. It seems to come down to the nitty gritty of the circuits under consideration, i.e., the black art of power delivery and analog circuit design.
What is a power amp you may have experimented with that provided the maximum detail and resolution at any price? (Not just perceived changes in tonal balance, etc).
I am hoping to shortlist a power amp based on some suggestions here for a future purchase.
P.S. If you are an ASR type of guy who thinks all power amps sound the same, this may not the right thread for you, I suppose...
@ltmandella , Wet rags?!?! Set this on top of the amp.... This type of cooler has prolonged the lifespan of many an amp IN A SAFE MANNER. |
yeah, wet rags. it worked, but like I said too much hassle and risk. I do have fans although not as sophisticated as that amp cooler. Anyway I decided that in the summers here I will only run Class D, they have gotten quite good. In the winter I dust off my A1 and Transcendent T8-LN OTL and switch back and forth between them. But I don't mind experimenting in the summer with the more efficient electronics. It is interesting and it is a good thing for the planet if we can figure it out. Plus I very likely will be moving to a South Pacific island in the next year or two so I might as well find some hi-fi components that I like that will be practical in such an environment. |
@donvito , I have different speakers, but, the one i'm considering this future amp for primarily is a Yamaha NS5000. |
