Thanks to Paul McGowan
About a year ago I bought a PS Audio BHK pre-amp & was very pleased with the improvement in sound quality over the Rotel I had been using. I put in a pair of 60s era Telefunken tubes & thought it sounded great so I went shopping. Recently I found a pair of PS Audio M1200 mono blocks & thought what the heck. I got them home & installed NOS 1958 Telefunken.tubes.
I should mention the amp I had in the system was a highly modified Carver TFM 45 I bought in the 80s.
What a difference! Have you ever had that OMG moment when you get to hear your music for the first time. I should have ditched the Carver yrs ago.
My hat's off to Paul McGowan!

I agree. I will also add that true monoblock amps have better left and right channel separation plus lower IMD and the ability to keep the speaker cables very, very short like 12’’, plus each monoblock amp can have it’s own AC dedicated circuit. Lastly, the mono blocks do not take up any real estate in my listen room as I have each monoblock amp under each speaker and one behind each speaker. My speaker are actively bi-amped with 4 monoblock amps. I discover the sound quality benefits of true monoblock amps in 1977 when I purchase two new Luxman B-12 monoblock amps. 😎 Mike |
