SST Ampzilla 2000 v2 vs Son of Ampzilla II
Hi! I've been using my SOA2 (220 VAC version) for almost a year without issues.Dead silent from both unbalanced and balanced inputs. I use as source a Lindemann Musicbook 10 DAC/Pre, and speakers are Dynaudio Confidence C1 Platinum. Sebastian  
Class D Technology
This statement is false.  It is not false at all! "It used to be a sign of superior good taste to diss class D. Today it's become a surefire tell of sad ignorance."Anyone who degrades class D as a whole is clearly ignorant about the technology ... 
Class D Technology
I have experience with many amplifying topologies, and I have found good and bad examples in each. Class D just happens to be one of the newest, with many improvements in the last generations.100% agree with the following quote from an experienced...

Hi All,Just read these comments from Tim, and thought I may also provide an update with my experience.I bought the D-Sonic M3-600M-A (pair) using Anaview AMS1000-2600 modules, back in October 2014.Having heard many systems with excellent component... 
New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE
Hi Goldprintaudio, thanks for the report. Can you list the specific components you are listening the REF600Ms with? 
New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE
From what I read, NCORE (and also UcD) seems to be sonically step above what ICEpower currently offers. But there are other class D manufacturers that are also getting rave feedback, namely Pascal and Anaview. Many people say they are also sonical... 
New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE
Hi Guido, very interesting your comment regarding the gain switch in the new REF600M.As far as I know, the gain setting has more to do with the preamplifier stage than with the speaker load.It sets how sensitive the amplifier will be, meaning how ... 
New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE
I'm sorry if my post was not clear. I was not referring to NCORE impedance matching, as both the DIY NC400 and OEM NC1200 designs have all over 100K Ohms and don't present a challenge to the line stage devices.I was talking about matching or pairi... 
New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE
From Bell Canto REF600M specification/features page:"The Bel Canto Impedance Optimized Input Stage is a balanced high Common Mode Rejection, low output impedance driver that is critical to the amplifier's performance, ensuring that the refined dyn...

Douglas,I have a pair of D-Sonic M3-600M-A monoblocks, using the Anaview AMS1000-2600 power modules.As I stated several times in this thread, I'm delighted with the sound quality of these amps.I have not compared them directly with the Ncore 400, ...

Planckscale & Ricred1, congratulations and I hope you enjoy the new amps as much as I´m enjoying mines.Please report back! I would like to hear your first day experience, and the evolution after 300 hours.I think you will notice an instantaneo...

Jtsnead,I would like to hear your comments about the low volume listening detail with your M3-800M amps (Pascal M-PRO2).I read two reviews about two different amplifiers using this M-PRO2 module.Both agree to say that the sound signature is on the...

Tobeornottobe, look at the review of the Gato Audio DIA-250 integrated amplifier:http://6moons.com/audioreviews/gato3/6.htmlIt uses a modified Pascal SPRO Module, similar to the one included in the Aluminati X2.I think this amplifier should drive ... 
HYPEX,PASCAL OR ABLETEC
Input impedance? 1.37 to 14.5 KOhms. Differences against previous ALC1000-1300 module? According to Dennis, depending on source material, in his system, the new modules sounded equal or better than the previous generation.How internal cabling is r... 
HYPEX,PASCAL OR ABLETEC
Tobeornottobe, what are your power needs?Have you considered the Aluminati X2 amplifier? It's not as powerful as the M2-1200S-A, but the Pascal module is also excellent with the latest class D technology, and auto-range 100-240 V.The advantage I s...
