| Suggestions for 220v amp Actually the Maggies are very inefficient but very much just a resistive load and are not reactive as a load. They don't necessarily need super high current. The PSX provides higher current but not much more in voltage gain. The amplifiers I had m... | |
| Review: Y B A Passion Integre Amplifier Hey Warrenh, which Sam Tellig are you referring to? The one who changes his amplifiers as often as his underwear? | |
| Suggestions for 220v amp Maggies like lots of power. Forget the Cyrus, Creek and YBAs. Man, I can't beleive the recommendations for these amps to match with the Maggies. I don't think the guys who had recommended those amps could have listened to the Maggies with them. Au... | |
| Review: Spendor SP-2.3 Speaker I have always liked Spendors (this only applies to the "legacy" models). The last one that I owned was the S-100. Although I have since owned and sold Genesis 5s, Maggies, and others, I have never got what the S-100 gave me until I heard the PMC I... | |
| Review: NAD C-320BEE Amplifier I too would recommend this little gem to anyone interested in building a budding audiophile's system. This unit is truly a marvel in driving anything but the most difficult speaker load. I hope that the people at Harman Kardon or Rotel will sit up... | |
| Review: Meitner MTR-101 Amplifier Not only did I find Tupperz's review informative enough, I also liked Jetter's comments on the Meitners. Hey, Jetter, what do think we'd get if we put together a 5.1 SACD multi-channel system based on MTR-101 amplification? | |
| Review: McIntosh MC-1201 Amplifier Perhaps one of the reasons the MC-1201 sounds so good is that McIntosh and other high end amplifier manufacturers have conducted extensive listening tests that indicate that given similar circuit topologies and tolerance of parts (a higher power a... | |
| Review: Meitner MTR-101 Amplifier Zaikesman, I have no intentions on "jumping on you". I happened to open both threads that came up during my search for Meitner amplifiers. When I read your reply to Tupperz, I must take exceptions with how you belittled him and now me for not writ... | |
| Ever perform a preamp bypass comparision test? I don't want to take much more time in this thread as it does not relate to reveiwing products. However, your exercise here seems a bit pointless as 1) You admit that you do not listen to your source components at unity gain, therefore, whatever y... | |
| Review: Meitner MTR-101 Amplifier Gee Zaikesman, I guess your time to read a review is worth more than most other's to write one. If that's the case, I'd rather keep my opinions to myself. Thanks for your encouragement to contribute. | |
| Ever perform a preamp bypass comparision test? 1) Are you inferring that volume controls, buffer stages, and output switching in preamps do not affect their sonic characteristics? When you listen to rec out or unity gain outputs of a preamp, you are by-passing all of the above mentioned.3) Not... | |
| Ever perform a preamp bypass comparision test? Would you care to elaborate why you would want to spend a lot of time doing this comparison test? Do you listen to music always at unity gain of your source components? Have you considered that unbuffered outputs of source components usually do no... | |
| Review: Meitner MTR-101 Amplifier I feel that Tupperz's review of the Meitner MTR-101 informative. I too, am a very happy owner of these amplifiers. If following the A'gon review guidelines means running down some other products to boost my ego, then, I am sorry, you wouldn't get ... |
