100+ Head-Fier
After some pleasing experiences in the tube world, I feel I still miss something, mainly dynamics, bass control and accuracy, where SS usually excel in (I know some will argue about this...sorry).
Tubes amps are widely discussed throughout this forum and I've learned a lot while browsing threads but I couln't say so for what relate to high-end SS amp (single ended). Maybe because people don't favor them .... or are to busy listening to them !
So my goal is to gather informations on what is available and what's the more commendable, what are users impressions and so on.. Excluding price consideration.
So far I'm trying to make my mind on some ...
- Red Wine Isabellina HPA
- Headamp GS-1
- SPL Phonitor or Auditor
- Headroom Desktop Amp
- Rudistor NX 03 or RPX 33
... but would welcome any others.. just to slow down my decision and protect my wallet !
I'm a bit surprised not to find ultra high end / esoteric stuff (you know with fancy components, silver wired and all the bling bling
), similar to what's available in HiFi. Maybe a matter of time since it's fast growing market, with a build-up of quality and price.
Thanks for your input
