Most transparent amp you've heard?

I think my choices are my current Viva Solista 845 SET and a previous Pass Labs Aleph 3 power amp, for SS

Rodmann9999.You're a sound technician and not a recording engineer?Wow,fooled me.

Rodman99999, you believe what you hear in your system is precisely what
you heard when your recordings were made, but the key word hear is believe.
You (or anyone else) can never be certain, and that's my point.

Clearly, my explanation in previous posts has not helped you understand why
this is so.

You haven't answered the OP's question. Shall we assume your answer to what is
the most transparent amp you have heard is one made by TacT?

>>Tvad- Maybe you've missed the fact that I'm a Sound Technician<<

Wow

I'm a retail technician.

Technician disclaimer.

Sean, based on those specs, I think that JA is right and tubes amps are not the way to go. As transparent as the Atma-spheres are, they seem like less than an ideal match, even though some may chime in that you can make it work with a speltz transformer which would defeat the transparency rationale to some extent. IMHO, you need SS and in that camp, I think you could do a lot worse than auditioning the Pass XA.5 series (the best SS I have heard, but I'm a tube guy so take that with a grain of salt), I do think that XA-60.5s would be enough power for you - they have a lot more drive than their specs would suggests and they are by any definition transparent. Oh, and did I mention they are uber reliable? An alternative is to consider the X-Series which gives you more watts per $$$, but are not quite as good to my ears (but still excellent amps).
