Confused by ICE applications


I've started to get interested in the switch-mode power supplies, but I'm confused by how the various amplifier makers use them. My current investigation is into the B&O ICE modules and Jeff Rowland amps.

From what I can see on the ICE web page, they only sell complete amplifier modules. If that's so, what does JRDG (or Bel Canto) do with them? I'd thought that ICE would supply the power supply and the output stage was then up to the end user...

A few yrs back, I bought a few Acoustic Reality ICEPower monoblocks to drive my then Revel Salon.

The ICEPower monoblocks made me sell my Mark Levinson No.33H that I used to drive the Salon.

ICEPower is simply fantastic.

I now use a DarTZeel but kept all my Icepower stuff...I plan to build an ICEPower based HT...

btw, anyone know how the new ICEPower modules compare to the older ones? The new ones supposedly has much higher current then the older generation... but what else?
