Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range


Hi guys, slowly upgrading my system on a bang for the buck budget. Anyone know of a musical, dynamic amp for under a grand? I would prefer new, but if anyone knows of a good deal on the used market, that could work, as well.

I just got a time capsule yamaha mx1000u that matches or beats the specs of everything mentioned here. Paid 750 on ebay. It's the quietest and most dynamic amp i've ever owned...from Krell to PS Audio. Unbeatable for the money.
johnkent3, YMMV. The important thing, is that you are enjoying the
MX1000, as this is what it is all about. Always, MrD.
 
Mr.D - now that it's brought up - my mileage did vary with Schiit products...

The quality of the freya was sub par because it introduced noise and a slight hum no matter what I did in any of my systems....

The modi 2 über was pretty good sounding but same thing - it was not quiet enough.

I was seriously thinking of the Vidar - but was a little apprehensive due to my experience with the company .

All of this and - Super Best Audio Friends - they hype the Schiit stuff hugely probably Schiit pretty much keeps that forum alive with advertising - and they're total dicks. Audio science review is the opposite and the only one posting legitimate, unbiased audiophile information.
