wyred4sound amps


I am interested in these amps, there are good reviews online but I was wondering what audiogon members thought of these amps. I have not had a chance to hear one yet. Also interested in the bel canto digital amps, thanks

Tvad, unfortunately, my speakers preclude me from trying a great variety of speakers. As for SS amps, I was rather pleased the most with the Plinius SA 250.
I have heard the best Pass Labs amps, and I can heartily disagree with AudioFeil once again. Granted, the new Pass Labs line is better than what they replaced. Compared to what I am listening to, Pass amps fail by a wide margin. They bloat the bass, shrink the mids, and blur the highs.
So, Pass labs X.5 amps are not to be considered as one of best solid state amps?
That would surprise many a reviewer.
I ran the Pass X-150 on a couple of my past speakers. I graduated to the X-600. Some folks thought the X-150 bested it's powerful twin brothers.

Still, there is no comparison to what I have now.
Audiofeil, audio dealer, has entered disparaging remarks at every class D thread, despite the class D amp owner's excitement over it's performance.

Look that up.
Tvad, then Audiofeil followed that up with, "However, like every other Class D amp, will never be confused with the best solid state products." That is where we will never agree on.
Audio whatever, I owe you no apology. You don't know how to treat the class D amps you have listened to, otherwise you wouldn't be blowing so much hot air.
Tvad, I happen to have heard the very latest Pass amps and preamps and my statement stands.

By the way, I have added the 47 Labs Flatfish Transport to my stables, and what an amazing addition that was.

Class D is not for the timid. It takes a lot of patience to find a way to make them sound the way you want. It took me some 6 years to find class D nirvana.
