| How a pair of Mark Levinson ML2 stands with the best amps today ? Al, thanks for the link. I just arrived home and will read it in the morning. Charles | |
| How a pair of Mark Levinson ML2 stands with the best amps today ? Reading Al’s post concerning other "original" ML amps with higher power output, George answered my first thought/question. Did the higher powered ML3 rival the sound quality of the revered ML2? I should have known that would be the answer .How do ... | |
| How a pair of Mark Levinson ML2 stands with the best amps today ? I appreciate ML's comments. I recognize technology moves onward and evolves. I just find it quite admirable that a class A transistor amplifier from 1977 still can on sonic grounds (the most important quality/criteria IMO) outperform so many... | |
| How a pair of Mark Levinson ML2 stands with the best amps today ? Stenalx,Based on your summation, the ML2 was an excellently designed/implemented simple/straightforward (relatively speaking) circuit superb sounding class A amplifier. Any idea why the decision was made to add gain stages and feedback thus losin... | |
| Recommended SET amp and speakers to 20k essrand,I understood your post. When you come across a truly superb audio component it does leave an indelible impression. I was coming from a relative value/performance perspective. How close could the less expensive amp/speaker combo come (sound... | |
| Recommended SET amp and speakers to 20k essrand and wolf_garcia are both adamant (even passionate) in regard to their respective amplifier and speakers recommendation. I don't doubt either of them. It would really be fun and insightful to compare these two pairings head to head. The De... | |

| Recommended SET amp and speakers to 20k Ozzy,I find forum threads to be a good starting point. You get replies from people who have owned or heard products that someone is not aware of. I don't expect anyone to go blindly follow multitudes of suggestions (how could they?). But one c... | |
| Recommended SET amp and speakers to 20k tswista,I know someone who had the Frankenstein amps and Zu Definition IV pairing and he was very happy.larryi,I've heard good things about Charney speakers. Have you ever listened to the Odeon Audio speakers from Germany?Charles | |
| High Output Preamp for First Watt SIT-3? Hi joeinid,I know you've had some excellent SS amps in your system so your comment regarding the S.I.T.-3 is quite a compliment. I would not be surprised if you preferred it over Avantgarde's own sibling amplifier.Charles | |
| High Output Preamp for First Watt SIT-3? Hi Al,Thank you for the very clear (as usual) explanation. I suspected that different amplifier topologies respond differently (to some degree) with higher speaker impedances. You are correct, my SET amplifier (8 watts) pairs beautifully with a 1... | |
| High Output Preamp for First Watt SIT-3? Hi joeinid,Thanks for posting that detailed explanation per Nelson Pass. Given atmosphere’s comments I wondered if thi applies to the S.I.T-3 (up to a certain point). In your case you prefer the sound with less than your speaker’s 18 ohm impedance... | |
| Recommended SET amp and speakers to 20k I agree with previous posts that suggest the possibilities are nearly endless. Some would view the world of SET amps as a small niche, in an overall context of High End Audio that/s probably true. However within that special niche it is really som... |
