Hi Muralman1,
I had my first brush with Bel canto with the EVO gen2 tripath amps. At the time I had 5 or 6 other amps including Audio research VT150monos(the most soulful of amps), Plinius SA reference, Audio Valve Baldur 300, Gamut D200mk2. I was struck by the transparency of the BC Evos. It really was the least colored amp of the bunch. The Gamut was nice too.
When the BC REF1000s came out I had the Jeff Rowland 501monos and when the BC arrived I plugged it in and I have never really looked back other than a couple of mods to the REF1000s.
The ICE power really brought all the rewards of expensive highend amplification in a small box that was extremely powerful and sounded fantastic. Super fast in the way the Halcro DM series is(DM series amps are disturbingly good). The Ref1000 has lots of leading edge information, with a super wide soundsatge. It has no sound or signature that I can detect. The simple mods I have had done have only made it more itself. Bringing more detail and cleaner definition. I feel sorry for other traditional amp manufacturers, as to compete with that performance at that price will be very tough. I couldnt have wished for a better amp. Sorry if I am gushing but I wasted an awful amount of money on expensive gear which now can be beaten in performance by a cheap simple and small ICE based amp. Highend for the masses!
I have seen a few people saying these amps are bad and have all these problems sonically. I can only assume it is showing them their system as it really is. I have found no weakness. I guess if you want coloration buy a different amp. If you want to hear your source buy the BC ref1000s or find a lot more money and by Halcro DM88s.
