+1 Bel Canto REF600M, but you should consider the Bel Canto Black EX amp. What if you like it better than your tube amp?

Why not buy a new amp the day after your tube gear fails? Are you far from an urban area or hifi stores? You can also buy all of these items on A'Gon from online dealers. I was considering the Mola and Theta and found a few dealers and private sellers here on A'Gon that sold them online. I just bought the Benchmark AHB2 amp and a DAC3L online. BTW - I went with the AHB2 over the Theta and Mola based only on reviews. |
Digital Amplifier Company (DAC) I just had a Stereo Maraschino (STM) on demo and love what it did. Clean and tuneful through the full spectrum of sound with loads of detail that sounded just right on my 100db Charney Audio Maestro's. Will be purchasing a pair of mono blocks and his preamp when released. http://www.cherryamp.com/ |
That’s a great idea Erik, I was just on their website last week looking at the Monoblocks. The moons are so easy to “build”, Just plug in some wires, solder a couple things, and screw the amp case shut. I watched the DIY video. And they have the NCORE modules that I wrote about above that are the latest and greatest affordable Class D tech. |
From everything I’ve read about the Bel Canto/BC Ref600 monos, they sound like a great product with the NCOREs, which seem to be supporting the higher end Class D amps, and trickle down tech from the BC Black series. Im just a BC DAC owner and like their products (I plan to buy a BC Ref 500s amp myself.) . But of course, it all depends on speaker synergy.... |
So, you are looking to have something on hand, which you may never listen to? Make your own. https://www.hypexshop.com/ |
