PS Audio Delta 100


I have a PS Audio Delta 100 powering my Magnepan 1.4s. Looking into the construction of the amplifier by displaying Google Images, I find most Delta 100’s have different architecture than mine. I wonder how many versions are there? What was the company trying to accomplish by so many redesigns? The only online image of a Delta 100 that matches mine was found on a South Korean used hi-fi market site.

My experience is the Delta 100 is not the best for detail and imaging.  But it will really drive the Maggies to higher volumes, and thats a good .   Of the amps I have and used to have:

  • Audire Model 2 sounds best.  I love the Audire equipment.
  • Superphon DM200 (its Class A -I think) sounds good at low volume, but doesn't have the current to drive my Magnepan 1.4s.  It's dual mono design really contributes to separation and separation helps with imagining.  So keep that in mind. 
  • Finally, I had a Acurus DIA-100.  It imaged and drove the 1.4s well.     

Based on my experience with the Acurus I've been planning on hunting down a Aragon 2004 or even a 4004.  Both are good values.
