Cadence Audio Z8000 or Diamond Audio D5600.2???

What amp would you get out of the two and why???? I can get the Cadence NIB for around $300 and the Diamond Audio NIB for around $200... I think the Cadence might have a few more extra features but I want the best SQ out of the two. It will be pushing some CDT HD-62's.

Great price on the Diamond.

Go for it.

just looking at the specs i'd get the diamond. $100 cheaper and pretty much the same output although i can vouch for cadence. i have a z4000 and it's an excellent amp.

So the SQ of the two will be about the same???

thanks

Diamond > Cadence IMO the diamond amp is underrated it will actually push the power of the cadence specs. Diamond amps are prolly some of the best for money.

Where can you find em for $200? Cuz if you're talkin on ebay, I was selling em and may be out after today. Next lowest price on there is about $300 shipped.
