Wavac HE-833v1.3 Mono block AmplifierNo lower-powered SET has ever been able to handle these recordings in full range and with full dynamics, in my experience. At absolutely no point did the v1.3s ever run out of juice…the top-to-bottom performance was without any flaw that I spotted. Furthermore, there was no SET-like Bell Curve clustered around the midrange; the v1.3s behaved like a very powerful solid-state amplifier when it come to delivering all frequency ranges with aplomb. And yet it did not sound like solid state. The roundness of the presentation and imaging was like SET, but it had a greater authority than any SET I've ever heard |

those Masters of the Universe, my advice would be to go for Boulder
hook, line, and sinker. Taken as a system, the three elements that
make up the 2000 Series are about as perfect as they come." |

1060 Stereo Amplifierit
is with singular confidence that I can say I’ve never
heard more satisfying electronics than the Boulder 1010 and
1060. When you add this to their unparalleled build quality
and ergonomic thoughtfulness, what else could I ask for? So
yeah, I bought them. - Ultra Audio, Jeff Fritz |

TIDAL IMPACT POWER AMPLIFIER This amplifier is the most transparent reference
amplifier ever produced. It's revolutionary state-of-the-art design
outperforms any other amplifier regardless of price. No other power
amplifier is capable of the speed, control, sound feeling and precision
that the Impact provides. |

about TidalWords alone cannot effectively describe the "TIDAL sound". Naturally, we could use objective descriptions such as "ruler-smooth frequency response", "ultra fast step response" and excessive adjectives like "neutrality" and "amazing soundstage". But we expect these qualities to be a successful by-product of accurate engineering stemming from our goal of reaching for perfection. However, accuracy alone does not touch the heart. A delicate balance between information & emotion must be struck for a perfect union. Excellent sound is not enough; music is the goal. Impact Review Extract The Impact has more speed, better transient
response and snap, and is more lifelike. The Impact's upper frequency
and bass performance was more defined and had better extension.
It would also be my opinion that the Impact does a better job of
communicating the emotion that the artists are trying to convey
in their music.
The Impact performed flawlessly through a boatload of equipment and cable changes with not one hum or pop. At the very least, I would consider it - along with only a handful of other amps that I've heard anywhere - one of the best amplifiers available. The TIDAL Audio Impact and Preos are a wonderful
combination and definitely one of the best that I've heard, ever.
You owe it to yourself, if you get the opportunity, to give the
TIDAL Impact and Preos a listen.
