Gliderguider is right i owned a Classe DR3-VHC that stood for very high current from 1988 to 2000 when i sold this amp it was because i was moving in to a condo and my system was to big for the smaller place this amp only drove difficult loads 4 different pairs of Acoustat's speakers from 82db to 85db this amp had a minimum of 18,000 hours of use and the only money i spent on it was for WBT rca plugs and big electrical bills all this time it was matched with Classe DR-7 preamp Conrad Johnson premier three and the last one was a premier ten the DR-7 was a very good preamp but i prefer a tube preamp with solid state amps i'm a smoothy kind of guy i sold this amp the same price i paid for it in 1988 and the guy that bought it was very happy ( me too )
classe Dr-3
looking for impressions on the sound of this amp...how does it compare to modern amps...im intrigued by it but it is 20 years old...i only have a lowly NAD c350 now but i wonder if it would be an improvement over the NAD in areas like imageing and transparency and grain/hashy noise.
any thoughts welcome
