| Class A amplifiers - which are considered the best @DoggiehowserThe construction of the Karans are obviously different to a "traditional" Class-A design, as explained below(source: http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/asi4/3.html):"All Karan power amplifiers are characterized by a continuous sliding... | |

| Boulder 865, Vitus SS-010 or Karan KA I 180& 8207;? I finally went for the Esoteric C-03 + A-03 combo. Neutral, transparent and always in control with a touch of Class A-warmth. A great combination with the Sonus Fabers IMHO. | |
