Hi all -
 
i'm looking for a neutrally tuned solid state amp to pair with two planars I have. any suggestions welcome. i've read the gustard H10 is good.
 
for price, id like to keep it under $700 or so, if possible. any recommendations are welcome. thanks

Neutral you say? A good secondhand Beyerdynamic A1. As neutral as they come.

Hugely detailed as well-overlooked but up there with the very best SS amps.

thanks. i actually have one right now but its got a 230v power supply, made to be used in UK. would i just be able to buy a AC transformer and plug it into wall? or do you think the circuitry is different? no clue to be honest

Hmm, not sure. I guess a step down transformer would be the easiest route. Not something I know a great deal about though so don't know how noisy they are.

I figured it out actually. All you have to do is have the right kind of AC to AC wall adapter and it's all fine

Excellent - good stuff. Its a really excellent amp. If neutral is what you're after it won't disappoint.
