| VTV Amplifier I did not hear the Weiss opamps yet, I bought and use the Sparkos only. They are quiet expensive for buying 4 at a time and trying out... | |
| Power Conditioners iFi AC iPurifier is $100 each and work very well. I would start with 1 or 2 of those. Highly recommended. | |
| VTV Amplifier (I did not delete anything)Yes, I also have an Apollon NC500 based amp using Sparkos 2590 and absolutely love this amp. Great news for US based customers to have the convenience of domestic shipping and trying at home. I think these will sell well... | |
| Merrill Taranis vs Wyred4sound ST-500 Also check out Nord, Apollon and Audiophonics.fr amplifiers based on NCore NC500 and NC1200 or the new Purifi 1ET400A amp modules. Many options out there. | |
| Recommendations for a good power conditioner? Do I even need one? Add 1 or 2 iFi AC iPurifier for 100usd each for starters. Best value I know of. | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? @matias do you know how MEGAschino compares with your class D Apollon NC800SL?No idea, I am curious about them too. | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? Having owned 3 class AB integrateds before, I have started my class D journey with a pair of Calyx Femti power amplifiers, which I still have on a 2nd system. They are based on an ICEpower 125ASX2 module. Having liked them, my 2nd amp was a Wyred ... | |

| Who needs a Preamp?? I would love to use DAC-amp directly and save on the preamp, XLR and power cables, and save some rack space and free an outlet. But truth is that in my system adding a preamp (Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE stage 2) made a lot better sound than going direct... | |
| Warm Class D for horns? I have never heard one but read that the Bel Canto amps are on the warmer side. Maybe a pair of Hypex NCore NC500 based Bel Canto REF600M would work for you."Of three recent amps of my experience, the REF600M was the warmest (...)" https://www.st... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load George's arguments are irrational. For him doubling down power is more important that the absolute power and current the amplifier actually gives. Typical audiophile rule of thumb that has no backing on actual physics and basic math.McIntosh MC2KW... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Holy crap - 49 amps. Didn't know this one existedhttps://www.hypex.nl/product/nc2k-oem/79Here's Apollon's version: https://www.apollonaudio.com/hypex-nc2k-monoblock-amplifier-apollon-audio-nc2kslm/ Yes, 2,000W in 2 ohms. Tell that to some who ... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Custom buffer adds gain and increases impedance to 47k ohms. As seen on current NC500 based amps such as Nord or Apollon. Just Google it before complaining... These modules are NOT finished products yet, manufacturer is supposed to add their buffe... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Purifi 1ET400A has no buffer, so it is expected to a manufacturer to add a custom buffer, and add more gain as needed. |
