Hey Krusty, see you next time
I agree that the new generation of SuperClassD amps are really something. I like that class A sound too, especially on old jazz recordings. I would consider the Hypex NC502 to fall between the Pass and the ICEedge, but much closer to the ICE, with a just hint of warmth. The ICE has no warmth at all, which I prefer for classical music. Cold and dry, like the ICE name implies, for maximum tonal texture.
