Oh how I wish Class D amps ...
Michael_moskowich, Tim Aucremann of The Audio Beat http://www.theaudiobeat.com uses a set of MA-1s (with a set of ZEROs) with Sashas. I myself heard the Sashas on MA-1s at Paul Bolin's home. It didn't seem like the speaker was hard to drive at all... 
What do you think of this preamp design?
It looks overly complex... A very competent solid state line stage could easily be built with about 1/3 the components. The op-amp in the feedback loop looks to me like an outright design problem...The ability to take a balanced or single-ended so... 
What defines a good tonearm
Dan_ed and Mike, are you attaching meaning where none existed? I really did assume that you and Mike did have such an LP, as I know others in this community for which that is true. I just wanted to get a copy.As for the Talea, I refer you to my pr... 
What defines a good tonearm
Mike and Dan, I assume that both of you have LPs that you recorded yourself and released commercially. What is the title of the LP? I'd like to get a copy.

Hiho, you can look here: http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/red-herring.htmlI've pointed the link to Red Herring but a number of other fallacies are described. I've found the site really helpful over the years as I found myself guilty of som... 
Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker?
Hi Unsound, thanks for the greater specificity.You have not offered any proof that: "Now the Power Paradigm offers the possibility of being that much closer to the music."Here's how that one works: The Voltage Paradigm places its highest regard on... 
Ocellia speakers and power
Johnk, how come you never see speakers that do that at shows? 
Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker?
Unsound, is this the comment you want me to prove?:Now the Power Paradigm offers that possibility of being that much closer to the music. The idea is that the technology is totally committed to the rules of human hearing, which I think all of us c... 
Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker?
Unsound, Sorry, I don't see that post. Perhaps you could quote it?

I don't care what fancy gimbal bearing you have you cannot beat a needle on a dimple.That is of course exactly how the bearings in the Triplanar are built. Except they are about 8 grades harder than the hardest commercial bearings, DHS notwithstan... 
Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker?
Timlub and Unsound, back in the 1950s the tube was the only game in town. Its no mystery that tube power is expensive- by the late 1950s the most powerful amps for home use made only about 60 watts per channel.Now it should not be a matter of proo... 
Know of any true bullet proof equipment stories?
Back in the early 1970s I used to work at the Allied Radio Shack 5-state service department. We had a Realistic receiver come in that was so melted from a fire that the knobs were blobs. The unit was sooty from one end to the other. It was sent to... 
Amp more important than speakers?
Stickman451, sorry, speaker choice without taking the amp into consideration will lead to expensive mistakes. If you think otherwise you will be a great resource to your local dealer. 
What defines a good tonearm
my perspective is that the most significant percieved and discussed weakness of a unipivot is actually it's biggest advantage, which is the freedom to wiggle. it is the micro and nano wiggling following the groove unimpeded that gives it the advan... 
Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker?
Atmsphere, of course that is only your opinion, many if not most, have come to the opposite conclusion.Sorry, Unsound. What I have stated is simple fact; its not a matter of debate nor can I do anything to change it. Facts are like that. If you se...
