MerrillAudio Veritas Reviewed at Dagogo

Hifial,

You can publish reviews of equipment and even music here on Audiogon. Less chance of getting bashed promoting something you like that way if done well.

I suppose once an innovative cost effective product or technology catches on in the high end audio world, it is ripe for a big markup if its performance is competitive with much more expensive gear. Class D amps fit this bill perfectly. I doubt that the much larger potential markets other than "high end audio" will go unserved though, so I think there will be many competitive offerings with excellent performance at a range of price points. Some will be more luxury minded and others more value oriented.

Rsimms,

Your accounting does not surprise me.

I think the Icepower based Class D Bel Canto ref1000m amps I use are as neutral sounding as anything I have heard. That means a lot of what you end up hearing and enjoying will be a function of what you feed them. Some tube gear upstream then is often the key. I use an ARC sp16 tube pre-amp (also fairly neutral sounding at least as tube pre-amps tend to go) fed from SS mhdt COnstantine DAC for digital and Linn Axis tt with Denon dl103R cart for vinyl. Pure heaven! The best of both worlds (tube and SS) together in synergy.
