Thanks, that is definitely far better than chip based.

Usually true these days, unfortunately. Although I like to think funny is funny and I can enjoy the humor offered from any quarter, todayās seemingly ever increasing levels of incivility all too often result in vitriol thinly disguised as āhumorā.
Too bad, reallyā¦

And Class A, or Class A-A/B with a significant level of Class A output before rolling over to A/Bā¦
One can dream!

Exactly correct, unfortunately.

Or class D with a class A input stage.
Curious to learn what PSAās current view on state of the art in this field is!

If they donāt weigh over 200lbs are they worth owning? Who do I sound like?

Common! Paul hinted already that the next generation of amps will be equipped with SMPS, no more deadweight LPS.
No more deadweight amps in this house for sure. Remember (or not) I used to own Krell and BAT monoblocks, I have had enough experience with deadweight/oven amps. Enough is enough

Somehow i missed the post even referring to a amp but ill take everyones word for it.
Theoretically, a guy could run his streamer to dac, amp, pre and be all PSA. Even add speakers.
Ive never even considered that. I think i have had two BATs and two Pass Labs at one time but thats it.
Im interested in hearing this new equipmentā¦ill inquire if in the lab yetā¦
We, of course, will continue to service MKI and MKII units that have not been hardware modified. And no, we would certainly never have a problem with Ted working for another company run by himself and working on those units.

I guess the policy.has changed on servicing modified MkIās and MkIIās. It was mentioned previously.that they would still be serviecable.
Thanks! No worries. While the amps will be a ways into the future, they too will be a revelation when it comes to musicality and performance. Till then!

Hmmmm, well, sorry. No it has not changed. My bad. I was trying to keep it simple. The policy is a little complicated. So, letās say you replaced your output transformer and something goes wrong with your digital input board. Weāre happy to fix the unit.
Basically, we donāt mind if you modify the unit and that modification has not or does not change whatever is the problem weāre fixing.
We have to be careful with this and you need to trust us. For example, got in a squabble some years ago when we refused to service a preamplifier where the only modification had been the addition of multiple bags of āmagic RF cancellingā powder inside the unit. We initially had called the police worried it was some kind of poison.
Or layers of RF shielding glued inside the unit and covering the parts. None of which were direct parts replacement in affected areas, butā¦.

Im actually amazed youāll even touch the product after someone pops the top. Much less adds/subtracts/modifies/resolders etc.
Thats pretty much unheard of in terms of support on most any products i can think of.
Magic RF cancelling powder. Thats a new one.

Thatās awesome Paul. Thanks
I found the most interesting piece out of this launch to be the pre-amp after seeing the internalsā¦ only time will tellā¦ Iāll look forward to rave reviews on the pre.
In the meantime, Iām still amazed at how the MKII sounds and a little sad it will go back to PS Audio with the clear plastic cover unpeeled.
