This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in.


I am buying Dynaudio C-1 Platinums and would like an ideal amp. Which would you choose? I prefer solid state. Separates or integrated. If you could recommend a few optimum choices that would be great. Based on my short couple years on here you strike me as very knowledgable on the subject. My dealer wants me on Pass Labs. Incidentally right now I have the Devialet 400 and I’m pretty sure you are not a fan of this type of amp. Any of your wisdom is appreciated. Thanks, Mike

kosst_amojanWhy do you keep assuming I've used a passive? I never have and I never will.
Really!!! now this is a laugh, from statements like this below.

kosst_amojanCan we clear something up? All passives basically suck.


You really need to, with the right setup, and not using such a low gain amp as you have. Then you will have an ear opening experience, and will be enlightened. End of story.

@georgehifi 
I can change the gain of that amp for about $10. No idea why I'd want to since it's all the gain I need. I see you've given up trying to technically justify your silliness. Forgive me if I'm not interested in a volume that doubles as a tone control. 
Forgive me if I'm not interested
Your forgiven, the day will come for you, till then you'll just have to live with what you have, because in your own words, you have not known any better.

Oh.... They're better.... That's why nobody uses them! This from the guy who claims only BJT's can deliver current. Why is a volume that doubles as a tone control better? 
only BJT's can deliver current.

More current, not only. I’m over you, you’re really showing your ignorance now, good luck and goodbye.
