Honestly I am too haha. I might send it over to Amir at ASR sometime to see how it actually performs. I personally love the thing, but imo with solid state amps hard data is nice to have as well.

From what I researched back when I was considering this amp, the general consensus was that it’s a very quality, low distortion amp with a lot of power, and was very synergistic with planars. I’m a huge planar fan, so I pulled the trigger and got one sent over from Sweden (along with a Hegel hd10).

Holographics whole design philosophy is low distortion and a sound that doesn’t change the source material which wasn’t actually talked about or emphasized by a lot of manufacturers earlier.

IIRC: Back when he used to be active, holographic audios “wire with gain” design philosophy was one of the things that inspired NWAvguy to create the circuitry for the O2 amp that was very popular a while ago, and imo is one of the reasons we now have super clean, powerful and cheap amps today. Instead of a lot of overpriced garbage that performed very poorly. Stuff that was all too common during the late ‘00s through the early 2010s.
