Hi everyone, i would like to have feedbacks from Technical Brain owners, integrated or separates.
If you have auditioned this gear please chime in.
I'd be curious to know how this brand stands compared to D'agostino, Ypsilon and others.

Pukalani, HI
A few years ago, I listened to Technical Brain mono amps in my system.

They were and still are the best solid state amps I've ever heard.

Totally neutral top to bottom, unlike the darker sound of the Pass Labs XA-200.5s, which we compared them to (I haven't heard any of the
D'agostino or Ypsilon gear).

If they weren't so expensive, they'd still be here.

If you can afford the
Technical Brain gear, you should try and hear it.

Hi mauidan, thanks for your input i've heard there was some reliability issues with the first versions in 2011 but i guess it has been fixed since than.
Unfortunately at €125K for the separates it's not in my price range but i will go audition the integrated.
Ypsilon is much much more affordable and still beeing reference level gear.

I can live with TB amps for a very long time.
I feel the same way.
Before I purchased my TB Int I had a number of amplifiers I was considering. The TB Mono/Int really made a big impression and now I don't feel the urge to try anything else.

Congrats on a fantastic setup.
