The Singxer SA-1and the Rebel RebelAmp are both very good. At the moment probably my two favorite solid state amps from my collection. The Singxer has more pronounced highs which give it an airy stage presence. The Rebel is on par or better than the Singxer in every other aspect but then does two things particularly better. First, the highs surpass the Singxer by being smoothed out yet somehow improving refined clarity. Second, the entire spectrum seems as if there is more sound. That statement does not even make sense when I say it out loud. However, there is something going on that I need to digest so that I can better put it to words. This is going to require more time than my one first day listening to the Rebel.
.
Worth noting, this is the first solid state amp that I have ever listened to that equals my tube amps. I have often stated that I always prefer tubes over solid state. But now my revised statement is, “I always prefer tubes over solid state with the exception of the Rebel RebelAmp.”
