| Is the Berning ZH270 revalatory? Zaikesman is asking a fair question. I find his posts to be thoughtful and well reasoned. It's understandable that some Berning fans would take offense. They, (we) love the ZH270.No hype, no shilling, no blowing smoke!! The Berning is a wonderful ... | |
| Anybody using Satellite Radio? I have had XM radio since the first of the year and love it. About 70 music channels and 30 talk channels. I actually enjoy talk radio more than music, but the music selection on XM is outstanding. You can go to www.xm.com for more info.I have a f... | |
| Review: Marantz Marantz DV-8400 & SA-14 vs. others CD Player Thanks for a great review! The SA-14 is a great player, and was my reference for a long time. It was bettered (imho) by the Electrocompaniet ECD-1 dac. Now I use the SA-14 as a transport with an AZ Silver Byte digital cable, and the EC dac in my b... | |
| When is Belles going to get the credit he deserves Hello,I just want to again make the point that I have found Dave to be an absolute stand up guy and great to deal with. He does exactly what he says, how he says, and when he says. Again, great products, great value, great service. Very few manufa... | |
| People who are Irrationally Afraid of tube amps If you like eye candy the Berning is not your choice! The thing does sound remarkable and is very well designed. I love how lightning fast it is. Tubeg and Allan have it right, I think it is an amazing product and should be on your audition list. | |
| People who are Irrationally Afraid of tube amps Wow!!! Guys, we are making this a lot more complicated than it is. It's ok if you like SS gear. I think tubes are clearly a better value for dollar investment. I would challenge you to find something that sounds better than the Berning at it's pri... | |
| When is Belles going to get the credit he deserves I also have a Dave Belles service story. A little more than a year ago I had what must have been a lightning strike one night. It toasted the system pretty good. I had a Belles 150A Hot Rod which smelled like it had been fried. I e-mailed Dave tel... | |
| When is Belles going to get the credit he deserves I have been a Dave Belles fan for years. Can anything beat his 150A Hot Rod at the $1500 price point? He makes great amps, but you guys should listen to his new 21A preamp!! It uses 2 12AU7 tubes, has remote volume, and sounds better than almost a... | |
| If it were you, which non-Sony SACD? I'm a big fan of the Marantz SA-14. It is a great player for both red book and SACD and you can find a used one at a reasonable price. | |
| American Made Hybrid Integrated Amp Make it 3 votes for Dave Belles and his great products!! You can sometimes find a used 250I integrated used for $1500 to $2000. I think it's a great value at it's list price of $3000. It uses only 1 tube and has a remote for volume and mute. I don... | |
| looking for best isolation platform for CD player I feel much the same way Tom does. I like what I have and I'm not going to change until I hear something better. I have a Berning ZH270 amp. It is a wonderful tube amp but only weighs 10 pounds. The platform that Larry designed has improved the al... | |
| Gryphon gets no press, but is great. I don't get it. The Gryphon doesn't sell in this country, so the response from some Gryphon fans is to Bash the US? Is something wrong with this picture? Gryphon is a great product, and Americans will cough up the money if they perceive it to be w... | |
| Gryphon gets no press, but is great. This has to be a marketing issue! I disagree with Flemming about the US market. Gryphon makes great gear and I think it would sell if it was sold the right way. It is expensive, but lots of products are expensive and they sell! The 2100 integrated... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Got the platform working! The screws were embedded but we were able to get them loose enough to make it functional. I placed it under my Berning amp and it made a huuuuge improvement. I have used Still Points under my Berning for some time. I thou... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I'm always open to new experiences. It's fun to hear new components and devices. I have tried a lot of tweaks over the last 15 years, and none have been more effective than the platform, but it needs to be set up correctly. The feet need to be eng... |
