AGD Audion monos amps have replaced my NAT 211 se2se amps which were stellar amps and resided in my system for years. My tubed preamp is a Supratek Chardonnay and I am driving Soundlabs Ultimate II speakers which are a beast to drive. The AGD Audion amps produce little to "No Heat" which allows me to listen much longer. I worry less about tube wear and tube failures now. I am enjoying my system with longer hours and no maintenance worries. Also they are now easily upgradeable to mkIII status being user serviceable too. I haven't upgraded to mkIII status yet but will in the future. The AGD Audion amps are definitely "my end game" amps for now and are musically satisfying. Who ever is on the fence you owe it to yourself to seriously audition AGD products.Thanks, Alberto for such a stellar product which definitely exceeds my lofty expectations.
Need a modern Class A monoblock, preferably half or compact chassis
Anyone here know anyone that might know if something like this may be available before year end. I am currently ampless, beginning to suffer withdrawls…wishing for Pass Labs to release an XA30.8 like powered amp, split into 2/3 scale monoblocks with xs or xa or ?? designator with Balanced Input.
XA60.8 is the logical choice if nothing shows up this year, but until I pull the trigger, alien monoblocks could distract me, for instance Valvet A4.5, from getting what I truly desire.
The current XA30.8 is the dream split into a modern Pass Labs monoblock.
FW is too focused and limiting to consider.
Anyone know of this possibility on the horizion for an XA30.88

Hmmm: https://10audio.com/atma-sphere_class-d/ Any idea what happened there? |
Any idea what happened there? @antigrunge2 Sure- its the result of a vendetta. Take a look: https://www.audioasylum.com/forums/critics/messages/9/99823.html With established, respectable reviewers you get something different (scroll down for the reviews). IMO any serious audiophile should avoid 10Audio if they don't want to waste their time; this has been true the last 25 years. |
