Genesis amp-does anything compare?


I heard a Genesis amp, for the first time today, and was floored by what I heard. It sounded like nothing I've read about when it comes to ICE powered amps. Digital done right, I guess. Almost tube like without the bloom; wonderful midrange, deep and precise bass, and sweet and airy highs. Great soundstage withs lots of depth with a degree of precision I'd not thought possible. I could have stayed there all day. I was told that no one else makes them this good. I felt like crying (I openly wept to my inner self).

What I'd like to know is if anyone has heard this amp and if so, have they heard some other, lesser priced, digital amp that comes close to sounding as good. I would like to believe that there have been some advances made in the last few years that have closed the gap between this jewel of an amp and all the others out there.

Thanks, in advance,

Thanks Teajay!

Its quite a jungle out there and feedback like this makes it a lot easier.

All the best,

Thank you, Plato, as well, for your thoughtful advice.
( that took me back a couple of thousand years)
I agree that final determination is within one's own system. But, I'm somewhat familiar with the system it demo'd in and it was with two different speakers, two different CDPs, and I swear it was with the owner's all tube system until I saw the Genesis amp sitting there, grinning at me (I think it winked as well).

As soon as I pay down some debt its time to audition some class D amps.
Its nice to be in the hunt, again.

All the best,
