Let's hear what the experience has been for long term users of these fabulous amps.
These amps never fail to astound me, and that really says something, these couple of years later, my jaw is... pretty much still on the floor where it was when I first heard them.
I remember first hearing about them, them reading about their incredible technology, and learning about the man Bruno Putzeys, their brilliant designer. I followed the enormous thread on DIYaudio. I remember being blown away by initial users over in Europe who were saying these were besting their own amps costing $20,000 and more.
I first put mine on my Maggies, during the Ncore tour by JTWrace, and it was an otherworldly experience. my heavily modded Virtue 2.0 on batteries was not even in the same universe, either on Maggies or my small bookshelves, at any volume level. Now, in a smaller room, I have them on a pair of Miller&Kreisels, ultra high end speakers from the '80's, and they are quite the pairing. Like sending in an 80's Porsche to RUF in 2014. I wish there were AC'er's I could share the sound with.
Their absolute precision, effortless, making it all look so easy, letting the music shine through and be its own coloration (glorious), the beauty of every frequency, the stunning separation and 3D depth, the godlike woofer control on the low end, just the sheer effortlessness of perfection, with headroom that will never run out.
I have never heard an amp that sounds
amazing at low volume, to the point where you are getting the full sonic picture at low volume, and turn it up to ear bleeding maximum, and never hear the amp waver or lose quality, let alone distort.
These are ridiculously awesome amps. The icing on the cake, tiny form factor, hummingbird like power draw at idle. No, more like a bumblebee. Expands into a dragon that flaps thunder.
My system:
PS4 with Music Unlimited
Emotiva XDA-2
both fed by Emotiva CMX-2 power filter and DC blocker
Hypex Ncores
Miller& Kreisel's on sand filled Sanus UF-27 stands with spikes
8' by 4' by 11inch diffusion behind and four 4" deep, 2' by 2' 3D diffusers facing the speakers.
Amps are in fully differential mode with Emotiva X series XLR cables from Dac to amps, and Emotiva X series optical cable from PS4, Emotiva X series 12 Guage power cables for Ncores. System is a work in progress, but man, amps are solid. Wow are they good! They are the one component I feel I am not fully exploiting. Like the rest of my system is being held up by them almost.Very pleased with my result as it is said Ncores reveal your system, and sound even better with even more higher end components.
No bashing by the usual (suspect) suspects. Let's hear from owners, people who actually own these amps and didn't hear them at a party once.
This thread is for owners only please. Questions may be fielded, yes.
