Amps I Like


Hi Everyone,
At the suggestion of an A'goner who suggested I list out things I like, as opposed to things I don't, I'm going to do that here.

Some caveats apply: This is my personal taste. The buyer should use their own tastes to determine what is good or not.

Also, I've not listened to gear long enough, or as much as I'd like. This list is not only short, but I'm going to put ++ symbols next to an amp to note how much time I've actually had to listen to them.

Sadly for me, I am not a professional reviewer, and I feel very guilty asking dealers to let me listen to gear I have no intention of buying. Please take this as one personal list of experiences, not my attempt to rate equipment for all time.

Best,
Erik

I should point out that the Vandersteen, while it sounded great with Vandy speakers, was bandwidth limited. No idea how it would fare full range.
Class A:

Luxman +++
D’Agostino +
Ayre +
Audio Research integrated +
Vandersteen + ( short but man, I wish I could review for a long period! )

Class B:

Parasound A21 +++
IcePower 250 ASP +++
Rogue Integrated+
Bryston +

Items in a list are in no particular order. Treat all A the same, etc.
