Hi Guido -
How do you feel the 312 compares to the 625 in terms of "soul"...? The "it" factor that makes you listen to music for hours and hours...
Don't get me wrong... I still wish I could own/buy either amp, right now, if I had the cash.
One of the criticism's of the ICE based Amps (perhaps less so in the 312) was that although they are very musical, they seem to lack the "soul" of Tube Amps and Rowland's older non-ICE based Amps. It is hard to describe in words. In other words, ICE based Amps seem to present the beauty and detail of the surface of musical performances, but perhaps not as much in terms of substance/body.
Arguably, there may be an unfair criticism or bias against so called "digital amps", simply because they are digital. But an amp that has the "it" factor and can power virtually any speaker well, is very tempting...
Tks.
