For the money, and especially now what you can pick up a used 350 for, it really is tough to beat unless you have five figures to spend. And even then, the synergy of a P350 with an ACT 2, ART 3 or the GAT is amazing. Perhaps the only achilles heel with the 350 is that for a SS amp it is very sensitive to loading: i.e. don't ever disconnect the speaker cables when the amp is on, or ever touch the speaker cables together (accidentally) even at low volume, or trouble could result. Mine was blown up this way once. The 911 is a more robust amplifier in this regard. Dieter Burmester told me that the 911 is "virtually impossible to damage." |

I always found it a good idea with the 350, to let the music play after it was turned off to help bleed those caps. You do it wrong once and then you learn!

There was virtually NO bleeding of the big Sprague Caps in the thing. Days after pulling the plug, a careless sole could have been knocked on their behind (or far worse ) without care. sorry for the interruption! |

Rayooo.......I don't think I'd want to bridge one of those big caps, let alone a bank of them.

Interesting input Jeff. Sorry to sidetrack. I use a GAT/350 driving avalons. I am more than satisfied with the amplification but could you comment on what would happen if I changed to GAT/LP275 ? I have not heard the LP275 but the idea of even more dimensionality and liquidity tempts me.

I'm extremely careful when I unplug the speaker cables from this amp; one of the guys at Spearit Sound advised me about the risks.

Even paired with a CT-5, which is quite similar to an ACT2, I think it's sensational. I just hope I can keep it!
