If there is a item in the audio chain in which the "new equipment bliss" almost never occurs for me, it's power amplifiers......I cannot count the power amplifiers that I've either auditioned or purchased, in which my initial reaction was lukewarm, and after a few weeks, I've asked the question, "What is it about this amplifier that people like so much?" ....... (I thought the White Audio Labs A100 and Robertson Audio Forty Ten were Gawd-awful, in retrospect..... I was never impressed with the few Pass/First Watt amplifiers I've had as well..... )
Although I once auditioned a power amplifier at a store, the Audio Matiere Equilibre, and thought it was maybe an end-all product...... I purchased the demo unit, put it in my system..... The amp was indeed superlative after being powered up, but then came to the reality that the amp became "soupy" and "boring" after it has been on for several hours. (It was maybe the hottest running amplifier I've ever owned.) As if some being from the sky came down, pointed to me, and laughingly shouted "Sucker!!!"..... .... ...........
