Listening to my new Hafler Transnova P3100 power amp tonight.
The Hafler Transnova amp circuit sounds very special and is biased in class A for the first 5 watts but has the grip to control woofers on the orchestral dynamic peaks (150 watts per channel in class A/B into 8 ohms, and 200 watts per channel into 4 ohms). Very linear amp, but with low heat.
It sounds simply wonderfully natural with my PS Audio IV preamp in passive mode, Sony Blu-Ray/CD player, Eastern Electric Minimax plus DAC with Burson V6 discrete op amps, WireWorld Silver Eclipse/Electra cables into the Paradigm S1 v.3 with beryllium tweeters and Seismic 110 sub. I'm just so happy with this piece and the sound of my set up..
