This thread has been some of the best breakfast reading I've had in some time. Makes my regular reading of news editorials sound lame. LOL!
Need An Amplifier That Can Make Any Speaker It's Bitch?

No problem. I haven't heard them personally, but I'm using NC500 based amps with fully discrete pure class A input stages in my system right now and they are amazing. I'm sure Bel Canto did a good job on their input stages as well.
Yes, I am sure these sound great. Having had a number of Bel Canto devices in my systems, they def. are very well engineered.
Someone should start up the "ignorance is bliss" audio forum for those who can't handle the truth.
I'll have to look through my RMAF material but there was a British couple presenting their NC500 based amps for about half the price of Bel Canto.

Interesting. Looks nice. Reminds me of the Merrill Audio Thor's..I had those in my system and they were very impressive...about the same price as the Bel Canto.

pulling gear judgments out of one's arse without listening is not truth. it's just rude. particularly for 1st posters. but that is the vibe we have going. it's not changing. but i don't have to like it.
i see that it's your style and understand where you are coming from. in 2 months you have 600 posts and feel you know it all.
maybe you do.
“Offensive”? “Down right rude”? “Rotten”?
Maybe the fact that you used a sexually-charged and misogynistic epithet in the title of your thread - which as well as being potentially offensive to women toward whom the word in question is most frequently directed, could also be seen as being offensive to anyone who has been subjected to sexual violence and/or enforced servitude against their free will - lead to the tone of the thread descending fairly quickly toward you needing to then follow up with a profanity-laced defensive tirade in an attempt at self-justification.
I mean, I get it... it’s a pop-culture reference, a word reappropriated by modern feminism and hip-hop... I get it. Far be it from me to tell you what to do or say, Andre, but as much as I will fiercly defend your right to freedom of speech here on this forum, unless you’re attempting reclaim the word on behalf of feminists, lesbians or victims of prison rape, perhaps the professional writer in you could be more self-selective of the words you choose to express yourself, especially given the heavily male-centric and male-dominated industry the high-end has historically been - and in the context of this forum, continues to be.
Just sayin’.
Sexually charged?
You have to be ******* kidding me dude. Get out of here. Save this politically correct BS. Enough already.
Just as mike said, it is GODANG rude to criticize a product you have NEVER HEARD on your first post. And funny, both posters
on their first post, from the same geographic location.
Your nonsense reply is just diversion.
Why would ANYBODY share information about new products here? Why would ANY manufacturer contribute here only to be abused?
Give me a ******* break.
Damn....I ran out of popcorn!
Andre - Don't concern yourself with all of the negativity....you're better than that. I, for one, greatly appreciate your contributions here and bringing to the forefront some components that would otherwise never garner a mention. There's more to audio appreciation than a few exalted brands, and quite frankly those are starting to bore me.

JV, this can't stand. I get "called out" for using a colorful descriptive term in good fun, while a bunch of assholes who have NO interest in the product, have never heard it, save one, who claims he did, have no intention of hearing it, and have the guts to form an objective attack group. Screw that. All this over a $2500 integrated amp.
It seems listening to gear is of the lowest priority, but forming a circle jerk over specs, internal photos, and other nonsense is end game.
Is listening to a component the only way to be an audiophile, i.e., is there only one acceptable way to be involved in this hobby?
As an audiophile, I look at build quality, among other things. This 'thing' is the worst I have ever seen in over 30 years. An 'amateur job' doesn't begin to describe it in my mind - the manufacturer appears to take no proud in his/her work, and the circuit boards are not even laid out in parallel to make it look even half-decent. Sometimes, the truth aches, or ack's, as I like to say. Sorry Marc, this one isn't worth anyone's attention in my mind. I don't know who this manufacturer is, and I don't care that they've been in business for 21 years... Some products are just substandard, and this *appears* to be one of them. And no, I don't need to listen to it, or read a review on stuff like that.
