for the p1000 trans-ana


i bought this amp without thinking i just saw a decent price fortunately for me this was one of the best sounding amplifiers under a grand even today. Hooked it up with very moddest philips cd850 and tannoy 611 speakers wow ! low end punch, pace, power and one of the clearest forms of clarity you can describe and one of few products with technical jargon you can actually hear. the best 50 watts available under a grand considering the 611's are 100 watts rms 200 watts peak.
but i did suffer ear fatigue after a while (combination of cd850 and 611's not just the amp) if you partner this with bassy warmer electronics before and after the amp (especially the speakers) you'll listen all day like i did.


Product Weakness: needs careful matching, can fatigue in wrong system,
Product Strengths: punchy bass, ultra clear midrange and highs, price<br>
