What are the "new" brands in amps and pre-amps

nCore is getting some good reviews. And there are a bunch of ICE-powered designs that are gaining traction. It is a *very* good time for high-quality, real-world pricing on all sorts of gear...

I have Densen electronics...although not new, relatively unknown is the US.

If everybody knew those brands the high end would not be the dieing old man's game that it is today.

That said, D'agostino, Continuum, Allnic. Funny that you don't mention any tube gear since good soundstaging seems to be the calling card of tube electronics.

Halcro appears to be out of business or dormant.

"What are the new brands which also can give a very musical sound and a holographic 3d image?"

I'm not so sure its a good idea to go about looking for equipment just by picking "new" companies. I think that there's something to be said for a company that is successful enough to become an old. also, old companies make new models.

I'll meet you half way. Based on the sonic qualities asked for in the above quote, I recommend a middle aged company. Ayre.

Wyred 4 Sound has some excellent amplifiers, integrateds and preamps at very reasonable prices. You should go to their website and have a look. I've been using their STI-500 integrated high-power amp for over 3 years now and I'm still impressed with the quality of its power and musical performance.
