New Amplifier for Serria 2EXs

[curtis]

Nice! What did you have previously, and what improvements did you notice (if any) with the Purifi?

As I recall, Curtis had an ATI A/B amp but I don’t recall which model

Yup...a 20+ year old ATI 1505...still have it, and I won't get rid of it.

To me the Purifi seems cleaner, but a true A/B test is needed to really compare.

Just a quick note......

A friend is currently demoing an Orchard Audio StarKrimson Ultra (Dual-mono I believe). He's on the demo tour so he only has it for about a week. He wants to bring it over to play in my system. Should be interesting. He loves my M225 mono blocks, says they sound class A. Last thing I need to do is change amps!

Good point. Other benefits are significantly smaller form factor, greater energy efficiency (less waste as heat), and three gain options if I decide to change any "upstream" gear with different output voltage (e.g., DAC or preamp) or when I eventually get the ELX with RAAL (more sensitive speakers).
