| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Hifitime..not chasing my tail at all..the system separates I describe in this thread all have a very natural warm organic character. For example, the Sanders Magtech amp, which is manufactured by CODA, is a co-effort design between Roger Sanders a... | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Jwm..I don't buy your opinion of the Playback Design MPS-5 player. It needs a minimum of 500 hours to break in. Why do you think some of the top disc players from Sony years ago had a very warm organic sound? Andreas Koch, thats why..the years he ... | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Good point..I jumped the gun on the D.R.E.I. topology and moved on..however, Bent Holter is in a whole different league at Hegel. He holds a degree in micro electronics and is a transistor engineer. His challenge was to equal FM Acoustics at a fra... | |
| the best 'tubey amp - warm,smooth,liquid' ? Zabiaud..If you are after that warm, lush, very smooth sweet sound then you should consider the tubes rather then the brand of the tube amp itself. There's a company out of China, called Psvane & Shuguang. Their tubes are made like tubes were ... | |

| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Hifitime..never deceive yourself on the price of a speaker.Look behind the curtain and study who the engineers are and their history. Michael Kelly is a legend in designing drivers and speakers since 1974, the year he became V.P. of A.D.S. and the... | |
| Review: Salk Sound SoundScape 8 Speaker Bugredmachine..I was in the process of buying the Aerial Acoustics 7T speakers costing $10K. Now I'm in a dilemma. The Salk SS8's cost $2K less. I have loved Aerial's for years and their custom driver designs. Are you familiar with the Aerial soun... | |
| Bel Canto REF1000M vs. Simaudio Moon 400M Mapman..what is important to make the comparison is the gain output, the max amperage output and voltage storage.Class D amps work best with dedicated 20 or 30 amp a.c.outlets since they move current by means of pulse modulation or switching modua... | |
| Bel Canto REF1000M vs. Simaudio Moon 400M Mapman..for the power that the Sim Moon 400M puts out, which peaks at a whopping 56 amperes, the amp is light and very efficient. Sim recommends keeping the amp on at all times. In idle mode the amp runs on a low 22 watts. Each mono block weighs j... | |
| Bel Canto REF1000M vs. Simaudio Moon 400M Zuigisland..before you jump on the Esoteric bandwagon, consider the MPS-3 or MPS-5 players from Playback Designs.The designer of these machines is Andreas Koch, the King of digital engineering. He designed the original SACD technology for Sony whe... | |
