($800 per amplifier)
I found these engaging 8-watt, 300B amplifiers to be extremely musical,
delivering quick, clear, shimmering highs and surprisingly robust lows.
Monarchy Audio’s C.C. Poon claims the Permalloy output transformers provide
much more power at the frequency extremes than the typical, lower-grade
transformers commonly used in competing amplifiers. The Dignity monoblocks
were exceedingly seductive in my system without sounding artificially
colored or overtly glamorous.

AC-Regenerator
($750)
This excellent AC
power regenerator made a profound difference in the
performance of my
digital front-end gear. With the resulting isolated and
purified AC my
system sounds more pellucid, sweet, and coherent.
The bass definition
and articulation improved noticeably.
Limited to 100 watts power draw
(total) but can dramatically refine
the sound of most systems.
