| Threshold S-150 Should I buy?? "Further, I found it to be lacking in bloom and soundstage."You didn't try moving the transformer, did you?Nope, thought so. | |
| Threshold S-150 Should I buy?? If you are an experimental type...............Move the power transformer as far away from the circuit boards as possible. (It will move seveal inches.) Yes, you will have to take it apart, drop the front panel, etc.You'll thank me for it when you ... | |
| ICEpower Digital Switching Amps? Well, Albert........we have plans to show up one day with a pair so that you can bi-amp. But it was supposed to be a surprise. I have a few coming back from evaluation and/or CES (finally!), so maybe when they show up, we can do it. I assume that ... | |
| does more power=better quality ? "More transistor rush / more tube rush"What on earth are you talking about?No, multiple devices don't need to be trimmed, although it helps to make sure that one device doesn't hog all the current. That is what all those nasty resistors are there ... | |
| ICEpower Digital Switching Amps? This is getting old. I am not here to bang you guys over the head with sales BS. If I were, you would see me here more often.OTOH, someone else can not seem to say diddle without pitching his favorite brand. Give it a rest, will you, bub.I do not ... | |
| ICEpower Digital Switching Amps? First off, I did register as a manufacturer. I appeared here as I received a number of e-mails and phone calls about my products, which were mentioned in another thread. I am mainly here to discuss amps in general, more than to promote myself or m... | |
| Jeff Rowland Consummate Phono Try bulk metal foil types, eihter Vishay or Caddock. Much more costly than standard resistors, but since you only have to buy 2, I think that you will be happy with the results. | |
| does more power=better quality ? No, but............In the case of what some like to call "digital switching amps":Taking a given module, and operating it at both the lower and upper end of its operating range, most listeners prefer the sound at the upper end of its range. Mainly... | |
| ICEpower Digital Switching Amps? If you read what I wrote, I did not say that they "stand on equal ground".You do not know how many I have sold, or how many competitors amps I have had to analyze (for any number of reasons). Don't assume facts not in evidence. I do not know who o... | |
| ICEpower Digital Switching Amps? They sound more alike than a random selection of Class AB amps will.I have built and sold more of both types than you have.BTW.........do you get paid to shill for Henry? | |
| H2O Owner Survey ? " The newer 1000 watt ICE module reportedly is significantly improved in ways other than power capability."Well, having built amps with them, I wouldn't say that is the case.The ASP series has some features built in that the separate modules do no... | |
| ICEpower Digital Switching Amps? We use ICEpower in some of our amps. Some with the built-in SMPS, others with separate toroidal transformer supplies.In addition, we use some other brands of amp modules. The difference in supply/module combination is the intended application, and... | |
| What's Your Experience with Digital Switching Amp? Really????Having built "conventional" amps for years, my opinion is counter to yours. I could tell you stories on how picking filter caps is a pain.............. | |
| What's Your Experience with Digital Switching Amp? Thanks Justin for the kind words. Since the thread is not intended to be a marketing pitch for our amps, let's kick around what I suspect he really has under his hat:"Does anyone else think that the midrange of these amps is.........uh........diff... | |
| What's Your Experience with Digital Switching Amp? Well........since I am being talked about, maybe I should clear up some things. I see some errors, technical and otherwise, that should be addressed.First, we do have a proper domain:http://www.analogresearch-technology.comYes, there is an older v... |
