They are really amazing. I was reading up on them, but I can't remember where I read it now. I think it was an Australian forum. The most surprising was the one with no pre-amp. I'm not sure how it would work unless you had a line driver which kinda defeats the purpose of not having a pre-amp stage. I wonder what the input sensitivity is on it.I am really curious about the new Tru Coppers.
I wouldn't; I had one.Would you guys consider The Alpine PDX amps to be SQ?
No, but they are good amps. I have two.Would you guys consider The Alpine PDX amps to be SQ?
With enough attitude, yes!Would you guys consider The Alpine PDX amps to be SQ?

I always wanted to get my mits on some of the Phass RE series amps.
Answer:This one time, in a make believe land far far away, I asked a simple question: what is "high end" defined?? Never got my answer and probably never will..........:crap:
I was reading the manual for the new Billets (I requested a copy from TRU since they are not available online) and they have a bypass feature for the preamp. I don't think there are 2 different versions of the amp. Its just a switch on the amp that will bypass the preamp stage.Definitely check out the TRU amps. I have a Billet and a Hammer and love both of them.
I'm pretty sure the newest Billet line is made in two different versions. One without pre-amp controls and it also has RJ45/CAT cable inputs instead of RCA inputs.
Yes, my Billet is like that, but the newest version..............there are two. The "AD" version and the "S" version and they are distinctly different. I talked with John Yi about one time, but I can't recall all the details.I was reading the manual for the new Billets (I requested a copy from TRU since they are not available online) and they have a bypass feature for the preamp.

Yes. Pull your 2x100rms amp out and put in a huge 2000w (2x100rms actual) pyramid and have someone blind test it.That doesn't make any sense at all! That description would include pretty much all amps.
"A bit more" is a vague statement and highly debated topic on this forum that I still don't quite understand. On one end you have the minimalists that say you only use xx watts while listening to music so you don't need much more than that. Then there's the extremists that say there's never enough power and headroom is important so running 150W midbasses off a 400W/ch amp is the minimum you should have.Hmm,
I would define a high-end amp to be application specific:
Anything full-range, above 85db S/N with a damping factor > 50 at it's lowest rated ohm load and has just a bit more unclipped power than necessary to drive your speaker to it's mechanical or thermal limits.
How's that?
