And it is cheaper and smaller. Otherwise, no.

I'm in a bit of dilemma. I'm looking for a high-end solid state amp for the HD800 and I tried the GS-X 2, Gungnir, and Taurus MK2 and most of them just sound too cold and boring to me. I like the AMB Beta 22 but it's DIY so I want to avoid if it's possible.

Any advice is appreciated. :)

Regards,
Jeremiah

Any edge(s) of BHA1 which it can hold against Rag?

No.

Get the Rag. Probably the least cold out of all of them except B22. Rag is mid-centric and smooth (and more capable than B22). If Rag is still too cold, wire up some small resistors in series.

Let us know how it turns out. Hopefully we didn't send you on the wrong track.

Fear not! It's a gripping read, even for those of us that don't have that budget. And, if I ever do, I'd be happy to  accept the result as a recommendation

For the love of pete! Nooooooooooooooooooo....too much work on my brain cells.

Naw, just kidding.  I like your reviews and writing. Very well layed out and articulated. Just knowing me I rather have my mind on morning cartoons and spaghetti most of the time....mmmmm, spaghetti.
