| Best Amp/Preamp/CD or DAC for Wilson Watt Puppy 7 FWIW (and I am definately blowing my own horn on this one), John Giolas of Wilson Audio has access to everything and chose Atma-Sphere MA-2s in his setup at home.See also:http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/atmasphere_ma2ii3.htm | |
| Otl's with AvantGarde Duos? I don't doubt what you are saying: One of the more brilliant concepts seen in amplifiers in the last 20 years or so and he has it mislabeled :) | |
| Otl's with AvantGarde Duos? Hi David, we may disagree on whether on not conventional OTLs have weakness that other arts do not; that is a matter for elsewhere.You misinterpreted my request for an explanation of the air core transformer's function. I was asking if it is an OT... | |
| Otl's with AvantGarde Duos? Hi David, could you then explain the presence of the air core transformer in the output section of your amplifier? Seems to me that a rose by any other name is still a rose. So I guess what I want to know is how the air core transformer shown is n... | |
| Otl's with AvantGarde Duos? Allanbhaganinfo, you might do as I did and read the following patent at this link:http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=/netahtml/srchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=5,612,646.WKU.&a... | |
| Tenor amp / Coincident Total Victory combo FWIW, if I can chip in, the M-60 (and our other amps as well) have changed a bit over the last few months and years. You might try out a later set, or get the older set updated.See also:http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/atmasphere_ma2ii3.htm Whil... | |
| Otl's with AvantGarde Duos? Hi Jayarr, FWIW, the Berning is not an OTL. There is a lot of misconception that it is, but it is just that.An amp that uses an output transformer (air core or not) and semiconductors in the output section does not qualify as an OTL. Unquestionabl... | |
| Tube Amplifier for Maggies You might also consider getting a set of ZEROs for whatever amplifier you get. Most tube amplifiers have difficulties with four ohms, owing to difficulties in the output transformer. The ZERO eliminates this issue. Maggies need more then 17 or 22 ... | |
| Otl's with AvantGarde Duos? FWIW, we have lots of customers running Avant Gardes- Unos, Duos and Trios. One of the first reviews of the S-30 was on Unos. The combination definately works. Bass is of course no problem.Naturally, since I am a manufaturer, you have to take any ... | |
| Cycle Conversion Krell's power transformers are already set up for 50Hz. So the real issue is line voltage. If you are already set up for that then there is nothing else you need to do. | |
| Tube amp biasing question--- My guess is that your tubes are not too strong. No amp manufacturer would offer an amp that could not handle strong tubes. More likely is that there is some sort of failure in the bias circuit, perhaps some resistor values in the bias network that... | |
| So, again, a question concerning amps. Hi Lazarus28, I agree that both technologies have the *potential*, so far I have yet to hear a transistor amplifier that has been convincing to me. I've played string bass since 7th grade, even played with the Minnesota Orchestra, so I feel like I... | |
| So, again, a question concerning amps. So, uh, you mentioned 'peerless performance'.For that you will need tubes. The amps all reviously mentioned are good transistor amps, but they take a backseat to tube amplifiers, which offer smoother (more musical) sound, with greater detail in th... | |
| Best Sounding LPs Classical has already been well represented here, so...See if you can find a copy of 'Voyage 34' by Porcupine Tree. Awesome rock, ala Pink Floyd back when they were good (the 70s) but with a more timeless quality. Excellent guitar work- Porcupine ... | |
| Atma-Sphere with Gilmore on HE 2004 Your point is well taken. And Mark Gilmore himself readily admits that the Gilmore was inspired by the Carver- with all the problems that he saw fixed. To that end, the baffle is non-resonant at any frequency the speaker can reproduce. This is dif... |
