Most resolving, transparent amps.


What has your experience been in amplifiers?

The most transparent, detailed amps you've encountered.
I like to hear everything that's going on and follow the different lines and instruments but it does need to come together musically.
Dead quiet, black background, dimesnional, layered, imaging, open, extended top end - all qualities of top amps, I think. Let the music come through as it was put on the disc - no editorializing.

What have you found?

NuForce Reference 9SE gets my vote so far, and it's a very musically satisfying amp, as well. I'm having mine upgraded to the Version 2 model, which is supposed to be noticeably better... Hard to believe, but I guess I'll know in a couple of weeks!
The BAT 150SE was the one for me. I currently added the VK52SE and even without the break in period complete, I am very impressed with the combo.
I've had a couple digital amps lately and frankly I'm still trying to come to grips with them,sure they sound good,have good bass,good clarity.Now I'm listening to a Tandberg 3012 well if you have ever heard one of these ,lets just say way back when, they created something magic,it has just been serviced all switches cleaned,upgraded caps,better speaker relay put in.Which is better ?You didnt really think i was going to answer that one now did you.Give me a couple months and i will see what i come up with.
The finest amplification I ever head was the dartzeel amp and pre-amp combo. Nothing I have ever head compares. Keep in mind that I am partial to tubes and dartzeel is transistors.
