Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy?
David Berning is a brilliant designer and engineer who has been granted a patent for his ZOTL design and really thinks outside the box.This is the only amplifier with I will replace my 2 Sansui... I read a lot about....The only new complete transformation of the tube amplifier for the last 50 years it seems.... |
Here is the story between the comparison by Sansui between his best tube amplifier and his best solid state one.... http://www.sansui.us/issues_AU111vsAL907MR.htm |
Sansui go on for almost 50 years in audio and the goal for their last 30 years was reproducing their best tube amplifier sound (1965) in a solid state version(1995), they accomplish that after more than 30 years of continuous research... Name one company in audio that have the same goal for 30 years ? Not an indefinite improvement goal, nor a general one, but a very difficult task and precise one, finally accomplished just before their bankrupcy.....Read that review... this is astounding... http://www.sansui.us/issues_AU111vsAL907MR.htm My rightly embedded Sansui is the AU-7700 and gives me great dynamic with organic sound without feeling any lacks in details... I embed it rightfully tough, controlling mechanically for resonance, and electrically for a lower noise in the electrical house grid and in my room controlled acoustics I dont feel at all any lack attributed to S.S. amplifiers in general....I own also one Sansui of the alpha series..... A reminder: it is way more important to embed rightly any electronic component than even upgrading it, because you will never know his true potential S.Q. without a rightful embeddings in the 3 dimensions : mechanic, electric, and acoustic.... There is no comparison at all between the same amplifier rightly embedded and not rightly embedded....This is true for any amplifier.....Out of the box without treating any embeddings dimension is not the way to use ANY electronic component.... |
