Various Artists - Ampzilla Demonstration Reference Disc: Ben Webster - My Romance

Great Sound!
After a period of relative inactivity, in the mid-Sixties the great Ben Webster moved to Europe, using Holland or Denmark as his base of operations. For the next several years, he became a familiar figure in the jazz centers of Europe, playing at festivals and clubs with local rhythm sections but often with expatriate Americans such as Kenny Drew. This demonstration-quality collection was culled from 1965 recordings for the Black Lion Records label, recorded in Copenhagen. The recordings feature Drew at the piano along with a host of European jazz musicians.

Ampzilla was created by world famous designer, James Bongiorno in 1974. At the time, James was the director of engineering at SAE. Prior to that he had been the director of engineering at Dynaco where he created the renowned Dynaco 400. While at SAE, James conceived the concept of the full dual differential full complementary amplifier topology which has since, for the last 27 years, become the defacto world standard road map for virtually all high end power amplifiers made today. Ampzilla was originally designed as a construction project for Popular Electronics Magazine. However, the response was so overwhelming, after the rave reviews, that James left SAE to found "The Great American Sound Co. Inc." The rest was history.

The new Ampzilla 2000 is a radical departure in amplifier topology. Not many designers can make a claim like this. Needless to say, James has created something truly new and innovative.
