New Digital Switching Amplifiers

Thanks for the head's up on the review, Cellorover!

I will agree with most of the review. However, the area I think the review got completely wrong is that sonics of these amps to me is anything but tubelike. Again, for me, what I hear from a tube amp goes against the typical descriptions of such. These amps are as solid state sounding as they come. And, again, they certainly have garnered my recommedation - breaking out Kraftwerk last night showed the music up in excellent fashion.

((((Personally I dislike the entire working principle of digital amps
(aka class D,PWM).
First of all the introduction of a convertor into the signal chain
(converts the analog signal into a pulse-width modulated one),
then the fact that the transistors only ever are fully off or fully on
and in the full on only transmit white noise.
That the re-conversion relies on the inertia of the connected drivers.
The high-power fast switching limits choice of transistors to VFets.
Radio interference created by the switching and frequency,harmonic and intermodulation distortions created by the modulator (convertor).)))
I wounder if this is the reason I dont listen nearly as mutch while I have the ARC M-150 in my systum as win I have the VTL MB-175 mono's in. But I swaer the ARC dose everthing better.

Eldartford, you give me too much credit. While that is what I suspected, I really didn't know for sure.

Thats 150-M.

I own a Bel Canto EVO2-the newest gen2 model-
had it about a year now and all i can say it is
it is very very good.To get the most out of it You need a really good Source and Pre-Amp.I have a Audio Research cd3mkll Cd player and Audio Research PreAmp-Ls16mkll
and with good MIT cable both to speakers and as interconnect in a balanced configuration and Vandersteen 3a Sinature Speaker-the sound is magnificent-some of est I have heard anywhere.
