Bryston Limited 4B³ Stereo Power Amplifier Review
September 19, 2016 Comments Off on Bryston Limited 4B³ Stereo Power Amplifier Review
“Much of what makes these qualities stand out is the superb quietude the amp exudes. No mechanical or electrical artifacts intrude on the listening experience. No hum or faint buzzing clouds the sonic picture. Superbly low distortion levels allow the amp to capture tonal signatures fully intact, meaning that one needn’t sacrifice accurate tonal reproduction for maximum detail retrieval. The 4B³ lets listeners have their cake and eat it too.”

PASS LABS XA30.8 CLASS A STEREO POWER AMPLIFIER $6,800 REVIEW
September 18, 2016 Comments Off on PASS LABS XA30.8 CLASS A STEREO POWER AMPLIFIER $6,800 REVIEW
“The Pass Labs XA30.8 is a very expensive amplifier. It does not have a lot of power output, although it does have a lot more power on tap than the 30 W per channel specification would suggest. But it’s one of the best amplifiers I have ever heard. Certainly the best amplifier I have tested in my listening room. If you have even moderately sensitive speakers, and especially if your system has powered subwoofers, the XA30.8 might just be the perfect amplifier. It has everything you could ever want, with the exception of massive power output. Most people do not need massive power output.”
