| Grant Fidelity parts ways with Psvane I’ve had several purchases from Grant Fidelity over the years and the customer service and support is top tier. I wish them success with Lanlai tubes and glad Rachel stood up to the intimidation and bully tactics from Psvane.Charles | |
| Reference Recordings @rvpiano, I agree with your impressions of the RCA Living Stereo and Mercury Living Presence. They represent splendid examples of minimalist microphone recordings. They have certainly stood the test of time.Charles | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options @icherepkal , you’re a victim of your own good taste 😊. The JAS audio SET established a very high sonic reference point. Tough for many amps to measure up to.Charles | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... @phillyb, It seems that we're cut from the same cloth. I have a large library of CDs which I continue to enjoy immensely (Just as some do with vinyl records). There are multiple ways for music lovers to enjoy listening in their homes . No doubt... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options Hi cal,Yes, as we all recall Al was excellent with his (Always) clearly written, detailed yet easy to comprehend technical explanations.

| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure David, Thanks for the link posting. Srajan Ebaen really loves the Elrog 300b and as a former owner I understand why.

| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options As the late (And great) Al use to point out , when you bridge an amplifier the speaker impedance load (As seen by the amplifier) is halved. So a 4 ohm load becomes 2 ohms and so on.Charles | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options I wouldn’t deny for a nanosecond that there are listeners who would love the Benchmark sonic presentation. Every audio component has a "sound" or individual signature. In the past I recall similar declarations about the defunct Halcro amplifiers. ... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options @icherepkal, I will 2nd your request of Ralph to identify these special SET sounding high NFB class D amplifiers . I’m "genuinely" interested in who are the manufacturers capable of what I’d consider a very admirable feat. They deserve exposure a... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options Ralph, I understand that we humans hear the same in regard to neuro-acoustical physiology pathway or msechanism (Using higher order harmonics to gauge sound pressure and detecting harshness and brightness). I should have been more clear as I’m ref... | |
| Looking for a SS Amp to power Spatial Audio X-5's Agree, even with ith the limitations of my phone it was still good. Will listen again later with my desktop and better speakers. Charles | |
| Looking for a SS Amp to power Spatial Audio X-5's @mikem, Thanks. It brings back pleasant memories of 20 years ago driving from driving from Phoenix to Grand Canyon AZ. I was listening to the Ella and Louis Armstrong CD set. Entire family in the car enjoying the music and scenery. Charles | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options @icherekpal, If you have an opportunity to hear amplifiers the subscribe to the high negative feedback (NFB) application as explained by Ralph, would you please share your listening impressions of them?
