| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp @rocray - Lots of R&D, and subsequently the upgrades and tweaks that result from it, have been put into the Unlimited since the days of the numbered units (2.5, 3.0, 3.5, etc.) that I started building 11 years ago. Thanks again for coming to m... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thanks guys! I too think it's cool seeing all of the different gear used to drive those Tektons, which appear to be very efficient and dynamic speakers- everything from 10 watts of SET power, to hundreds of solid state watts. It's all very cool! O... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @david_ten - Thank you sir! I've been building and tweaking basically non-stop on a few new designs. It's good to finally hear some seasoned ear's opinion (other than my own) on this new Push-Pull.@teajay - That's great news! I'm stoked that you'r... | |
| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp @rich121 - I'll be sure to forward your message over to @laaudionut and additionally, the link to The Motherlode is below for reference:http://aricaudio.com/products.php?product=ML6SL7MMIf you have any questions regarding the build specifics- feel... | |
| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp Hey laaudionut! Thanks for the excellent update! I'm glad those high end parts loosened up and settled in nicely! I'm still looking forward to pulling off some high end build for my own personal vessel using those Duelunds which are the best capac... | |
| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp I just wanted to share a link to the new "Transcend Push Pull" Stereo Amplifier posted up on my website this evening:http://aricaudio.com/products.php?product=TRANPP88Aric | |
| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp First, I wanted to say thank you to laaudionut for the kind words and review! Also, for any following this thread, a head's up that the Transcend Push-Pull will be added to the website later next week. The proto-type has been a success and is prov... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @laaudionut - That's awesome to hear! I'm glad the ML is driving those Pass amps and in turn- your SE's with such finesse! Hitting that synergy is a wonderful thing. Also appreciate the kudos very much sir :-) Best wishes, Aric | |
| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp Just another follow up: This "less is more" circuit is what I believe if giving me the magic I'm hearing with this new PP design. There are only two coupling capacitors per channel in the entire amplifier- which greatly lessens the chances of "pha... | |
| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp Just an update. Further testing of the new push-pull amplifier using some pretty inexpensive Electro-Harmonix KT-88's has been very positive! This new circuit is producing the best of both worlds- the smooth, cohesive realism of a single-ended, an... | |
| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp While the Transcend and Special SE's have enough guts to drive most speakers (even my older 89 db 1W efficient speakers), I'm still thinking that careful design of a single-chassis push-pull amp that has less to the signal path can be the answer t... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I’m glad she got there well and is opening up for you Brian! Those Duelunds are the size of half coke-cans, so I imagine they’ll be taking some time to fully break-in. Nice to hear the good report- and thanks for the kudos! Aric | |
| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp Thanks! As far as relay-activated- that wouldn't be prudent to the design as it goes against the "completely hand-wired" and no solid state components in the signal path. Generally a relay is "PCB architecture". This has a manual switch, and the v... | |
| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp A review of my Transcend KT88/120 amplifier just went up on Home Theater Review today.https://hometheaterreview.com/aricaudio-transcend-series-kt-120-se-stereo-amplifier-reviewed/ | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thanks TeaJay and David both- it's much appreciated! Best wishes, Aric |
