Quietest amplifier you have ever owned.


I hate it when I'm sitting in the listening chair with no music playing and you can hear the sound of the amplifier coming through the speakers. I was curious what the quietest amps out there might be. One example I can think of would be the Antique Sound Labs MG-SI15DT integrated amplilfier. With the amp on and no music playing I can put my ear right up to the speaker and hear nothing but dead silence. This is probably the quietest amp I have ever had and it probably has something to do with it's single-ended design.

S7horton - I thought about that also but I don't think it's the source because I have another integrated tube amp and I can hear it from my listening chair with no music playing. I am using the same exact CD player as I use with the Antique Sound Labs MG-SI15DT integrated amplifier.
Pbb - I think audiophiles like a dead quiet amp because we don't listen to loud music all the time. I enjoy quiet passages and they are not as pleasing when you can hear the sound of the amp over the music.
