the sound of A-300X comes very close to FMA 1811, but what about JA-200?
..if only i had the class a amp, i would have kept it..
On the other hand - is the time for such a beast not past?
Looking at inside and specs of JA-200 it's actually expensive for the price.
It use cheap heat sinks,and the quality of the parts can't compete at all with the A-300X.
Specs
JA-200 - Freq response 20-20 -0,5dB, A-300X 0-100 - 0,5dB.
I watt output at 1k 0,02% distortion, A-300X 0,005%.
Capacitors JA-200 280,000uF, A-300X 2,725,000uF.
S/N - 100dB, A-300X 119dB.
And the sound of A-300X comes very close to FMA 1811, but what about JA-200?
nah...class A is still best all things considered for the most part, imo. There are exceptions with the uber level class a/b. Circuit design choices of SE Class A, Push Pull Class A or Class A/B aren't the only factors to be considered. It all about implementation and execution of design choices.
I hear you.
And I won't bore you with the list of Class A amps I DID have starting with the Accuphase E550, Sugden Masterclass etc..
But they all had to go when I came across the Berning ZH270.
As it is, I switch now between the Berning (now the ZH230) and the Audio Consulting MIPA

Recently changed to large batteries, which made the whole thing really worthwhile, except for looks..
Interesting...have you listened to the Berning Quadature Z mono amps?

sorry for the late response: NO, unfortunately not, that is definitely on my wish list. Has not come my way conveniently ;-)
But i am told, the ZH230 really does it in power with my comparably little Merlins.
(And you know, I haven't got the stomach for larger speakers..I had Audiostatics 10 years ago, that was it. And the Merlins have an uncanny similarity to Planar speakers and are so undemanding in power..)
That's a pretty serious looking amp...just checked out the website. How much if i may ask?
Just found the review on enjoythemusic. Got it. Thanks. Sounds like an absolutely killer amp! Congrats!! http://www.enjoythemusic.com/superioraudio/equipment/0311/mangus_audio_ma300.htm
Thanks Lloyd. It bested my old $30K Burmester 911 MK3 in all parameters.
