Ice Block Amps

From my experience, matchining a good tube preamp with better class D amps produces the 'best' sound, imho....when you are using a class D amp.

I have found my Audionote DAC tubes make it through to my speakers untouched. I am using the Fire preamp. It is a class A SS preamp, but you wouldn't know it is even there. My system requires the added boost from the Fire preamp. Running a class D directly with a good tube DAC, preferably NOS, might do the trick on less demanding speakers.

I have been on the fence as to which company is the best,most musical in the class D amps,trying to decide between nuforce,canto,wyred for sound,or any other suggestions would be a great help before I spend my money.......have tubed pre going to stacked chorus 1s and 2s.....please help with some suggestions and are you happy with them,my other option is to go mac.......thankyou

Have you checked into the Dolan Mono -1 monoblocks.

Neptunebchdawg, check out the ice blocks from Seymour AV. They sound great through my Cary tube Pre. He will let you audition for 30 days and if you don't like them, send them back. I was very surprised
