| Sanders 10B Electrostatic Albert, it may not be required for the 10B but how many 100 watt tube amps can drive a 1 ohm load? Given that it should be able to handle the impedance of the speaker. As for current, if the RM-200 doesn't meet the challenge I am sure the RM-9 Spe... | |
| Is it time for a phono stage? The K&K comes fully assembles as well and is a great value. | |
| Sanders 10B Electrostatic Albert, I would suggest taking a look at the Music Reference RM-200. Can drive a 1 ohm load and Roger Modjeski has plenty of experience with ESLs having worked for Beveridge, designing the RM-10 for the Quad ESL-57, and now having his own ESL syst... | |
| REVIEW: The Fritz Carbon 7 SE The first time we exhibited with Fritz in Las Vegas our intent was to use a 50 watt EL-34 amp. Well when we set it up one of the channels had a pretty bad buzz and while my partner went back to the shop to get some parts for the repair Fritz and I... | |
| Planars/ Electrostats benefits over box speakers? Thanks Mapman. | |

| Atmas-phere MP-3 MKIII --- opinions? You may want to take this with a grain of salt as I am a dealer for Atma-Sphere, but also consider I was a satisfied customer for several years previous.The MP-3 is a nice preamp and a good value for the money. As for options I would somewhat agre... | |
| Did Redbook get it right? George, what DACs that you know of use multibit chips and no negative feedback, old or new. I have two digital sources right now that use PCM 1704 but not sure whether or not they use negative feedback.I too like the TDA 1541 and also the PCM-63PK. | |
| Sound Lab vs Magnepan 20.7 I used to live in Santa Barbara and visited with Roger back then. I was with him and Kavi Alexander once listening to an early version of his ESLs powered by an RM-200. I am now moving to the Bay Area and will definitely look him up. From what he ... | |
| Sound Lab vs Magnepan 20.7 Ralph, yes there is a benefit in transparancy with the OTLs that I have realized but now I am putting that signal through a transformer with my Quad 57s. Previously that was not the case with my Jazz Modules. I was hoping someone could talk more a... | |
| Sound Lab vs Magnepan 20.7 Not intentionally trying to go off topic, but given the OP's comment about transparency, as an ESL owner, I was wondering if someone can talk about experiencing loss of transparency with ESLs due to their use of transformers. | |
| Amplifier humming I owned this amplifier several years ago. It is actually a very good amp. Mine also had the transformer hum. Unfortunately it was not due to DC on the line. To solve the problem I removed the transformer fastener and put some damping pads under an... | |
| Joule Electra Amp Repair Sorry got my dealers mixed up. Rich is with Signature Sound. I am pretty sure he can help. | |
| Joule Electra Amp Repair Unfortunately Joule Electra has been out of circulation for some time and while Simon Thatcher was assisting with service it was mentioned on another thread here that he recently passed away. Perhaps try Rich Brkich at Sound by Singer. He was a Jo... | |
| Electrostatic speakers and low volume resolution Actually Roger is a proponent of understanding power requirements as it relates to driving speakers and achievinng adequate listening levels, regardless of the sensitivity of the speaker. I can recall discussing with him a customer of his that use... |
