Amp with best bass control

I don't want to get off topic with discussions of a CD player, but I will say the EAR CD player sounded very warm, without any hint of typical digital edge or fatigue. There is digital I can listen to for hours (like the Linn Klimax DS, Akurate DS and even the new Marantz NA11S1), then there is digital that I can only stomach for an hour or less because while listening, things are "sticking out" which causes fatigue (I guess my brain has to work too hard!).

That being said, I will still take my analog/vinyl rig over everything "digital".

YMMV.

Isn't Class A supposed to be superior for bass control?

Not necessarily, in my experience, especially for the tight, controlled type bass you described. Good Class A amps may have realistic sounding, tuneful, well-defined bass, but not necessarily the tightest and most controlled bass, which may be found in some Class AB and even Class D amps. Of course the Class A Krells may be an exception.

@ Mbovaird, thankyou for your intro to this player, I will audition it to find out if its my flavor of tone and presatation, cheers.

Audio- of or relating to sound or its reproduction and especially high-fidelity reproduction

Labyrinth- something extremely tortuous in structure, arrangement, or character

I get it now.

hi Mike
I would always say KRELL..KRELL...KRELL.
But your into those $50,000 plus- 300 watters which is out of my league but hey keep us up on your findings.
