| Shigaraki and other simplistic gear Viggen, I do like these acronym, sounds like a Saab model. I do not trust those autotransformer anything in my path. I have read much of the work that goes into them, and people seem to like them, but if you see the reviews, the praised that come ... | |
| Shigaraki and other simplistic gear I am going to drop in a pair of Fostex FE208 sigmas. I want to use what I already have, not having to plunge into another pair of drivers like the Jordan drivers. I think the Fostex will have better highs than the Jordans. The cabinets are those G... | |
| Shigaraki and other simplistic gear can you expound on the EMI/RFI and vibration issue? What sort of specific problems do you have with them? | |
| Best amp for Audio Physic Avanti III off from the left field, I have heard people pair Audio Physics with Blue Circle BC-2 monoblocks, that are out of production. It is a mix of everything stated about, a hybrid that runs fully Class A, producing 75 watts per channel with current to ... | |
| BAT VK500 upgrade struggles The VK500 is a veritable MONSTER, in comparison to the two amps you have stated. I have the DNA 225, it is heavy, but nowhere near the BAT. It is a very different design and approach. If I am not wrong, the BAT runs near or at CLASS A, while the D... | |
| BAT VK500 upgrade struggles CJ SS amps are known to be mellower or more tube sounding than some tube amps. Most likely, you will not be able to get the same sound back, unless you ditch the BAT. Sorry, but there is not a more softer or darker sounding gear than a CJ preamp a... | |
| Carver Power Amps Warnerwh, I did not know that the 20k amps were not of BCarver's design. All the worse. From the commercials it seemed as if he was claiming the fame for them. I did not even know that Hafler had anything to do with Tube amp designs. The things pe... | |
| Classe Reliability : Your Opinions? Very disparaging views of Classe gear. In Audioreview, reviewers have complained extensively about their CDP, being very troublesome. Other complains were about some of their amps, post DR design. It seems that the new CA 101 and on, are fine. But... | |
| Carver Power Amps I stand to my OPINION. Carver are rubbish. The amps that B Carver tried to sell in the mid to early 90s, before being pushed out of his company, were mostly sold more due to a careful commercial campaign than due to their audio merits, as someone ... | |
| McCormack DNA-125/225 Upgrades Daltonlanny, I think the DNA 125-225 Revisions will not take into the territory of the DNA 500, it will be a totally different amp. Remember that the DNA 125, 225 and 500 were built to meet a price point and the standards of the factory. The 125, ... | |
| Carver Power Amps Well, no dealers would like to see me coming, because I have not bought from a brick and mortar dealer, nor have I paid full price for everything that I have owned or still do....I agree with you, Gmood, I am unabashedly defending the gear I have ... | |
| Carver Power Amps In response to your email question, I say that I cannot imagine what the DNA 225 would sound like with the Adcom preamp you have. One thing is for sure, the DNA 225 with the preamps I have used, which are as follows:SUMO ATHENA (class A output sta... | |
| Carver Power Amps Eventhough I did not have an A....X amp as you do, I had the older M 4.0t amps that Bob Carved had designed before being bought out by board members. It had a rated output of 375 watts per channel, but in my short audiophile experience, those were... | |
| A difference between First Sound Presence products Wow. Thank you for one of the best, non-press related descriptions of the First Sound Presence. It is very hard to find reviews of Emmanuel's products anywhere, except the one glowing Soundstage review of 2 years ago. It seems to be that First Sou... | |
| Rogue Magnum 99 question Really difficult to predict if you will like the sound, even after break in. Unless you have had the preamp before, how to predict something one has never experienced? Eventhough I do not own a Rogue, I have own other pieces of tubed gear, especia... |
