My previous post answers your question. Why do you want Ralph to advertise for other people? Would you go to GM and ask them who else makes good trucks?

FYI…Benchmark is not a class D amp. It’s a whole different animal. 

@bigkidz

OK, so your amps at least to your ears are better. Fair enough. My question to you then is: what other amp(s) do you feel compare(s) favorably to your amps?

@jonwatches1 

Check this one out, the reviews are very encouraging though I haven’t listened personally:

I have been using the AGD Audion mono for a few months and am still happy with it. Give them a try within your budget and you will be able assess for yourself. Most companies have a generous return policy. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. I have one last question: have any of your creations been reviewed by a third party outsider with no horse in the race, like a magazine?  I am asking this because if you only listen to and compare your amps in your environment and with your specific associated equipment, that gives you a home court advantage. To my mother, I am the most handsome man on earth. While I accept your testimony, I would be interested in knowing what others think.

Same applies to AGD.
