the 10 has more power but this $4k Ruby is like a modded unit
the late Ken Ishiwata This was his best ladt effort before he passed away ladt year RIP, and don’t let Ncore dual mono amps discourage you ,it has actually 170wpc ,not 100 into 8 ohms
270 into4 ohms ,a true class A Active preamp ,with a linear microprocessor controlled volume true Descreet transistors,Not opamps like modt Copper dual chassis and premium matched parts made in Japan , it has Solid stste control and detail and a bit of vacuum tube sonics . Only $1000 signed are made .
