*UPDATE* REVIEW: 21 "Mainstream" portable amps. GoVibe MAGNUM added.
The formatting of this thread is: The impressions of each amp. Then the rankings on a cumulative level, although SQ based, it's not the sole reasoning, as you can find that out from most every review out there. With portables, I believe practicality plays a HUGE HUGE role. After the rankings...- oicdn
