I own the Delta monos and the older mode ampsl. Love them both. I drive my Wilson Alexx V's with the Delta's. Fan noise is a myth. Very reliable. I will say when my HVAC system comes on I can hear that. Highly recommended.
New classe delta preamp and classe stereo amp?
Was wondering your thoughts on the newer Classe preamp and stereo amp combo vs something like the Accuphase E5000 integrated? Does anyone own this classe combo? It will be driving my older B&W 804S speakers and a rel t7x sub. I used to own the older classe cp500 and ca2200 amp. I have the E5000 right now and it sounds great, but just thinking of going back to seperates. Just a thought and some advice. I know the new classe is made in japan now. Thanks

@skinzy Thanks, I used to have the older CA2200 & CP500 and loved them. Just got bored and wanted to try something new. Glad the new stuff is great too. |
I owned the Classe CA-2300 for quite a bit and could never hear the fan. I thought it was great, and paired it with my SSP-800 until it broke for the second time. This was when I bought an Audionet Preamp, and performance jumped noticeably paired with the Classe amp. The Classe amp however was outshined easily by Audionet Max mono amps. Much more speed and resolution, Easy to listen listen to. After Audionet, I felt many other amps (example JC1+) were on the warm side. I have not heard Accuphase. My advice in general is keep the DAC out of the preamp. Just gives you so much more flexibility... and arguably a better Preamp. This allows each componen to do what they do best. Isn't that the point of separates? :) |
