Guys, what kind a difference between F5, F5 Turbo, F6 and Aleph? I mean sound... Next year I think about to made one of this amp for myself. I got a nice DIY speakers on Seas Excel and now I use Audio GD NFB-1 amp and Cyrus Smartpower plus. I like the sound but my acoustics can do more than that. I like a high resolution and detailing and also "life-like". Which of these amps will be more similiar for my requests?
 
Speakers is a almost copy of Audio Note AN-E (38 lit, birch plywood, luxury crossover).
Excel E0006 and E0045 - drivers. The real AN-E and other models I know well.
My room is not big - 17.5 meters. I have a photo with my setup. I have a few sources, collection of audio cd and super audio. Speakers are placed one meter away from walls. I don't have any measurements of my room.

none of Papamps is worse than other, they're just different

new version of Aleph J - it is going to be neat package, all critical parts included, easy assembly (nothing confusing in procedure), straightforward and simple setting and certainly nicely sounding

now, difference between Aleph J and F5

what's most important there are two facts:

- F5 can drive heavier load than Aleph J (though I'm not expecting that your speakers are anything close to heavy to drive)
-for proper setting of F5 one need to have and know how to use THD Spectra setting setup (decent soundcard, one of several appropriate programs), while for Aleph J there is no need for that - it goes as it is "right from the box"

when "exactly" it'll be in Store - that's question for Patrick @ItsAllInMyHead - he's main pushing Mule for that ......
