Bit of this, bit of that
Bec, If you believe Johns claim re what the reviewers have said regarding the price comparison, then it seems logical to conclude that it sounds best with amps you would normally reserve for the megabucks digital front end.
If he's made a DAC that can beat 'them', what's the likelihood he can do it with an amp as well? I wouldn't say it's a cert by any stretch of the imagination. But if you like the sound of his DACs then what's the chance you'll hate the amp he designs to go with them?
He's made some very good stuff over the years, not least the Pink Triangle, Ordinal, Cardinal and De Capo. (Which he designed when he was 19). I know it's unusual in this day and age, but he's not really known for 'bluster', he's no J.V. or I.T.
