I have compared.
...Are you seriously sitting on this kit? 😉
In my humble opinion VFET (barebone original) beats the M2 every day of the week with unparalleled musicality. The various turbo versions now offered may be even better but I don't know.
Of course the new 5W ACA mini beats both of them (with the distortion canceling on). The music presence is unheard of, and it sounds more powerful than either the 10W VFET and 24W M2x.
The power consumption of the ACA mini is a joke too, and so it's a totally green amp.
So there is probably room to go even lower power and build a 2.5W that is even better and a 1W amp for horns that is better still. 😀
Can anyone comment on the sound of the ACA Mini vs F3? Thanks.
I will happily purchase your Sony vfet from you and build it If you feel that it isn’t the amp for you. I entered the lottery but didn’t win one and would love to put one together. I build two ACA’s last year and love them and would like to build another kit as the ACA was lots of fun. I am pushing a pair of Zu Soul speakers so low power is no issue for me.
PM me if that is of interest to you.
