NFB-1AMP as dark as Phoenix?
Hi! Read review about Audio Gd Phoenix and the dark side it has. Being near 10 years old I have reserves about buying second hand (pre-owned). Would the newest NFB-1AMP be as dark ? Will be running balanced LCD2. The dac is TEAC UD-501 and I really like it. Any consideration would be welcomed!- Caribou679

Confused about impedance matching
Well I am happy of what I learn in this thread. I'll be a little less ignorant. @ProtegeManiac about the BMW:race_car::oncoming_bus::oncoming_automobile::red_car: when we talk of current delivery in ss amp, is this only a factor of loudness or is there more to it in regard of quality...- Caribou679

Confused about impedance matching
I am confuse about the comment that output power decreases as HP impedance increases. On the Schiit Magni 3 website it is stated like that but on the Little Dot MK IV specs it is the reverse.
