Wow Thanks!!!
Reading the b22 review, I find it pretty hilarious that you'd prefer any singlepower over it. That's like prefering the es-1 (srx!) over the t2. The beta22 is measurably one of, if not the most perfect non-electrostatic headphone amp. Unless of course, you're looking for color... I mean, it's not a world beater? That's laughable.
Skylab,
Thank you for the great resource! Looking through your reviews it seems that the Audio-gd C-2C ($300) shines as the best inexpensive balanced amp. I just emailed Audio gd to find out if it is still available. If it is not, can you recommend an alternative for a balanced, solid state, amp for around $300?
Thanks!
I really don't, unfortunately. All of the inexpensive balanced amps I know have been discontinued. Your best bet might be to buy one used.
But do you already have headphones terminated for balanced use? If not, there is no magic to balanced termination, and you should look into amps that are not balanced.
