Experiences with 47 Laboratory products?


HI folks - anyone have experience with the new 47 labs stuff? specifically the Gaincard amp (25 wpc) and possibly the Flatfish CD player and Progression DAC? I have a Sony ES transport feeding a Muse 2 DAC, going to a Classe CA 200 then to Martin Logan Aerius Is. Would the Gaincard have enough power to drive the Logans? ANy thoghts on the sound quality difference? I like the Classe a lot with the Logans. I heard the 47 labs amp with Avantgarde speakers, but those are rather unique. ANy thoughts and experiences appreciated. -Ed

I have the flat fish w/ progression dac and the 47 labs phonocube. My system is Lamm ML-1's w Lamm L-1 pre with Kharma ceramic 2 speakers. The 47 labs gear is the best I've had in my system by a good margin (the transport dac combo is the way to go with this stuff). I have owned or tried alot of what's out there and am very pleased with these products. I also think 47 labs will give you a trial. You will want to do this for sure with the flat fish as it is different to use (alot like analog). I tried the 25w gaincard in my sytem and it was good but I think the 50w version may be the ticket. (i have not heard it yet)
