This version of the P-100 can easely be identified by the chromeplated front. There are very few DHT SE amps which can perform orchestra at a sensible volume (my living-room is large) or at times some good rock-music as well and they cost a fortune, you can buy a small house or a fantastic car. I know, some of you might prefer DHT SE amps but I need the reserve in power. My turntable is the legendary Garrard 501 with SME 3012A tonearm, pick-up is the Ortofon SPU-Gold, inputtransformers Neumann Bv27 or Bv33 (low ratio version which I prefer) directly built into my Jadis preamp. You need a top notch preamp and phonostage. There is this rare homogeneous continuity from bass to midrange and treble. ![]() Bass is deep but at the same time airy-palpable. They just sound musical and very open with such a detailed airy top-end. Particular if used with original Genalex KT88's or MO-Valve Gold-Lions (not to be mixed up with the modern fake Gold-Lions made in China).Įven compared to a top-of-the line Jadis KT88 valve-poweramps the Beard not only stood its ground but imho sounded superior.Īs far as I know only very few were made on special demand, hardly anybody knows about them. ![]() I still believe it is one of the worlds finest KT88 poweramps. I had the chance to compare it to the stock P100. ![]() Review of the Beard-Audio P100 Signature-Reference valve-amplifier with Partridge outputtrannies:įor a very short period Beard-Audio made the P100 with Partridge outputtransformers which are double c-core and should be on the level of Tamura- or Tango output-transformers.
