Since the OP has an NAD BEE amp I will say this--I used an NAD BEE integrated amp for years and then switched to a tube pre-amp/class D power amp integrated (made by Rogue). To my ear it's definitely an upgrade from the NAD solid-state integrated. As much the Rogue pleases me I expect that many higher-priced rigs will sound even better--I'm just not operating with that kind of budget right now. At any rate, in this zone I think class D is a fine alternative.
Old Amp vs. New Amp
Hi All!
I'm in search of a new amplifier and I am looking at new amps as well as older used amps. There is some really great older gear out there for very reasonable prices, and of course the new stuff is considerably more expensive.
Is newer stuff really any better than some of the great older gear from the 90's and early 00's?
Opinions?
