As I have been playing my 2 amps and fleshing out the difference between them, I have started to ponder what I really want out of my system. Do I want all out, high performance, full redline playback. Or do I really want a more subtle, tempered playback. My 2 amps really are quite similar, but they also diverge in important ways. One really lays it all out there. Here it is. The other is shockingly real, yet it has a gentler hand. Almost a fine calf skin glove. It's just wonderful to listen too. Having both has allowed me to ponder, if I had to choose one, would I go for the full assault, this is all there is to give. Or would I go for, I can love this every day. Nothing lacking. Presented in a beautiful, clean yet totally unobtrusive way.
I think I am finding when I listen to the all out assault, I spend time paying attention. I'm sitting on the edge of the chair noticing everything in the playback. The other amp I find I am just there in the music. Less attentive to what is going on with the electronics. I really cant say whether one or the other is more correct. They are just different. They bring a different vibe to my time in front of the system. Anyone else ponder this with their electronics?
