New amp being touted as among the best ever......

....possibly hyperbole but Hi-Fi News in the UK raving about the Diavlet D-Premier amplifer.

Apparently it has patented a new hybrid of Class A and Class D technology. It sounds very interesting, looks unique and would appear to be a must hear for those who are interested in high quality servers where apparently it excels-although I'd be interested to hear what it can do with any source.

Pretty expensive I believe at £12000 or approx $18000.

It looks very interesting and it's not every review you read where you really want to hear the thing.....

Here's their website, quite a lot of info on there if you browse about.

This amp seems to be an enigma. Until I hear it or someone I trust who has heard it, I wonder about all the hoopla. I just bought the B.M.C. M1 monoblocks based on many trusted favorable comments about them.

OK, will someone who lives in SoCal PLEASE go over to Digital Ear and tell us what the bloody thing sounds like?

It's almost August, anybody given this a listen yet? Any chance one will be at RMAF in October?

Shazam, I keep forgetting about it. I would assume that were it any good, we would see more feedback. I was really put off when all I could find at CES was a static display.

I would also hope that we can hear it at the RMAF, but I have not heard of it being at any of the recent regional shows.
