“It is BEAUTIFUL! And when I hooked up the Sensation to my BE-718's, the sound really opened up. The soundstage got wider; improved details; it just blew me away.”

"The Sensation is the best Tripath based amplifier I have had the pleasure to listen to. IMHO it beats others on sound alone regardless of price... The Sensation possesses that Tripath warmness which makes the amplifier very non fatiguing to listen to... It provides excellent dynamic range with the Omegas. Soft passages do not lose any dynamic tension, and the transition from soft to loud is excellent in terms of the emotion it conveys. It is especially here where the Sensation surpasses others… Soundstage front to back is good… instruments are well placed and defined and posses weight and authority… The Sensation represents excellent value and produces exceptional sound as is. Given a superior high current power supply (which I intend to do) the Sensation will approach or exceed the superlative...."

“So I'm cooking Christmas dinner and have 1/2 an hour before checking the roast, so I decide to hook up the Antek power supply. High current (10 amp rating vs. the 130w psu's 3 ampere), and linear vs. switching, with a hefty torroidal transformer.
I start the player but someone is calling at the front door so I have to answer it while trying to listen for the first few notes to see if I hooked it up correctly and good thing my Blu-Ray player cues up slowly and then- Holy Smoke! The difference is gigantic! Bass rippling through our old house's wooden subfloor, new levels of clarity and detail, even at lowish volume levels. The decision to upgrade to the Antek power supply took all of 2 minutes to decide (Had to notify my wife, after all).
Just as the previous beta-tester commented, this transforms the Sensation. Beyond what I had expected.”
