| Review: Primare I30 Integrated Amplifier I recently heard the i30 and it could be the hidden gem of the integrated amp world.It has a neutral sound, but is not cold or digital. The treble has great detail, yet it is non harsh or grainy. The sound is relaxed and laid back, yet has good rh... | |
| Interconnects: solid or hollow core wire? The theory is - solid core does not suffer from strand interaction which causes distortion. But I also think the larger the gauge you go the with solid core, the more problem you get with skin effect.Perhaps it is best to have mutiple, thin runs o... | |
| Interconnects: solid or hollow core wire? Hey Rodge, Yes I am using the newer, thicker DNM wire for 'normal' speakers.I should clarify, when I say it lacks the last octave, I am being unfair, because this is only in comparison to my Downsize Audio 2" wide copper ribbon cables. They have a... | |

| Any one here heard the Bmi Oceanic Statement? I am amazed there are so many people out there who have heard a 15k power cable. | |
| RIP - Richard Brown, BEL Apparently noone has been able to figure out how the BEL amps sounded so good. Mr Brown must have been doing some tuning or has knowledge of his circuit that is not readily apparent from others purusing the schematics.Is this still the case, and f... | |

| Possibly the best pre-amp one can have Has anybody contacted Charlie and heard this pre?The logic of using high bandwidth video op-amps is something very different to what else is out there."The pre-amp has the flattest frequency response with no distortion (because of the wide bandwid... | |
| Tube amp for rock? Newb Questions Zamdrang, your problem is that from your first post you had your heart set on getting the Manley and the Dali equipment, and every suggestion from the other members was ignored.I went through the exact same thing as you a few years ago and here is... | |
