Best Digital Amp for Legacy Focus 20/20?
A_rt, how about you telling us what it is B&O says about their module 500A HF aberrations. I can't find anything.Are you talking about their Performance Characteristics graph illustration at 4, 8, 16, and open ohms? Can't be, there's nothing t...

I'm not agreeing with you about anything. You don't have a clue what my amps sound like. They don't sound like yours. I have never heard two ICE amps that sound the same. Yeah, all three are below .05 THD + N up to near full power, which I never a...

Good one Woodburger. In no way will I say the H2O is the best amp for everyone. We all have at least slightly different expectations. There is no substituting something else for tubes for a die hard tube lover. The H2O review by Sajran at 6moons b...

It goes without saying, try the amp in your on system. on more than one occasion H2O amps have been dropped into existing systems with less than satisfactory results. I totally revamped my system to augment the H2O. Your amps on four of the same s...

Ar_t I wish you wouldn't suppose you know what the H2O's capabilities are, just because you make ICE amps. FWI owners of a wide variety of speakers are excited by the H2O's performance; Speakers including, Meadowlark, Green Mountain, Soundlab, Gal...

Ar_t what do you mean when you say, " The only drawback is that the frequency respsonse is load dependent?"My speakers are a mean ass load, and there is no audible frequency problem.

Huck55 Some people are quite happy with the Nuforce 8. It sells in that range. I know, for a fact, it can run your speakers to any loudness you can stand. There are digital power supply ICE amps aplenty. Some of them sell below $2000. Try to buy U...

For starters, What is your budget? 
Historical look at amps
Technically, you guys are way over my head. I am just a consumer. It seems you techies agree on most of everything. I'm glad that class D has finally made it into this amp history exploration thread. I do not agree Class D amp's performance value ... 
Does anyone like vintage speakers?
I agree with Mechans. Vintage is pre 1970. I don't think anything made in those days come close to today's fare. Being extremely biased, I believe speaker evolution reached a ceiling in the mid 1980's, with the advent of the Apogee, and that ceili...

Sorry Howard, I just keyed on that "Not my cup of tea." I took it as, "My luck, the only guy who has heard my system, and it's my only thumbs down."Like I said, I enjoy your system, and company, I might add. I have learned there are lots of paths ... 
"This Latest Digital Amp Is Great "
Boa, thanks for the visit yesterday. I happen to have liked your Klipsch/SET past systems. I look forward to hearing the big ones. I think the sound is engaging in a romantic sense. However, based on what you wrote here, and what you told me, I ha...

You know, it amazes me the number of people who join product audio discussions just to do social commentary. There must be someone in my vicinity who can drop in for a listen. The proof is in the listening, not my hype, or reviews. I am in N CAl. 
"This Latest Digital Amp Is Great "
Well, Art, how do you conjecture the sound of my amps? It has been my experience, class D amps differ from each other in sound more than between the best solid states, and tubes.

I replaced Pass Labs x 600 monos with a class D ICE powered amp. I replaced that amp with an even better sounding ICE powered amp. There is no turning back for me.
