Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

Well

I hear you. But you don't have to stick with old stuff. There is plenty of modern gear with accurate ratings. Mass marketed gear always does that crap. HT power ratings have always been BS. Even by somewhat respected brands like Denon and NAD. None of them have the PS to drive all the channels to the rated power. Car stereo is even worse. I was in that biz too from the late 80's into the early 90's. We had Butler tube drivers and HiFonics and Fosgate which were good and didn't lie at least back then.

My rant is how bad 15A IECs are. Audiophile gear should only use the 20A. Not because of the current but because they stay seated and have more than double the contact surface area.
