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

FWIW, I stumbled on this Ohio based amplifier company that is offering budget Hypex and Purify based amp builds (Ghent Audio cases with custom face plates).It appears to be a vacuum tube company that has expanded its product offering into boxing digital amp boards.
https://vacuumtubevalues.com
https://vtvamplifier.comThey are offering the following digital amps:
- Hypex NC500, NC1200 and NC2K/NC2000
- Hypex NC122MP, NC252MP, NC500MP, NC502MP
- Hypex UcD2K/UcD2000
- Pascal ...
- Purifi 1ET400APreviously, Hypex had minimum price fixing policies on their upper amp boards which kept the prices very high. That policy has since lapsed.
The Purifi 1ET400A is a new amp board recently released this year by the designer of the NCore amps.
Nord and Apollon across the pond offer Hypex and Purifi amps at reasonable prices. VTV Amplifier is the first company I have found on this side of the pond to do similar.
They also offer a 30 day in home trial which makes them attractive on this side of the pond.
