New Hafler Transnova P3100 power amp in house
Listening to my new Hafler Transnova P3100 power amp tonight. :banana:
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.. |
I was fortunate to work at Rockford while Jim Strickland was head of engineering. Brilliant mind indeed. His TransNova design work was a staple of our TOTL amps. The 9505 remains a favorite of mine. Rockford sold the hafler brand a while ago and I lost track of it. Nice to see a product as this carrying on the tradition. True to the source was always the mantra.

Soundmig, nice to know more about Radial’s good reputation. I’m sure enjoying the sound of their power amp in my system for the wide variety of music I listen to
