| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll @dekay I use an Atma-Sphere Class D amplifier to drive Quad ESL 57s (15-ohm nominal) with no issues. | |
| David Berning live My Quadrature Z monoblocks have a base that Steve designed. It’s made of copper and provides a multi-layer damping and ground system. This feature is available through Rick Brown at Hi-Fi One who represents the Berning product line. Steve is one ... | |
| David Berning live @dodgealum No I didn’t miss that and I think it’s great that David Berning’s technology can reach more people. However, in my opinion, there are distinct differences between Berning components and LTA components. I also don’t agree with your comm... | |
| Experience With Linear Tracking Turntables I owned a couple of the B&O tables with linear tracking arms in the past (3300 and 8002) as well as the Technics SL-10. While I was very happy with all 3 tables, I kept going back to my direct drive tables with pivot tonearms, but like @lewm I... | |
| David Berning live Being a member of SFAF I was able to attend this virtual meeting and can say that it was a very educational experience. In my opinion, David Berning is one of the top audio engineers of our time. Mark Schneider on the other hand did not impressive... | |
| Which LS3/5a? Spendor made them too. FWIW Roger Modjeski owned the Chartwell version. | |
| Audio Note DAC Owners- please share your thoughts I also own the ANK 4.1x, stock parts but some upgraded tubes. Part of the enjoyment was just the fact that I built this DAC. I have never compared my kit to an original Audio Note DAC, wouldn't pay the price tag on them as digital is not my primar... | |
| A DIY Swarm-based Distributed Bass Array for SOTA Bass I know Fritz and enjoy his speakers. Bass response is very good. The goal of a distributed bass array is to get smooth and fast bass, not necessarily deeper bass. The Acurus could do the trick and power the bass drivers. Use an active crossover li... | |
| Congratulations Atmasphere! @grannyring, I use the Atma-Sphere MP-3. | |
| Congratulations Atmasphere! Having had the Class D amps in my system for a couple months now it's my opinion a hybrid version isn't necessary. As I hear it, the design exhibits the best of what tubes, OTLs, and Class D has to offer. I've mentioned this to others including Ra... | |
| Killer vintage 70's, 80's reel to reel to add to my setup. If you want to throw $20,000 at it: https://sonorusaudio.com/atr10 This deck is based on the Revox PR99 chassis. It uses a combination of original parts and new parts. As an alternative, you could just get the cleanest PR99 you can find and send ... | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions @ghdprentice, maybe I should have stated my point a different way. I know too many people who when doing comparisons think along the lines of, "Well it cost $100,000 so it must be better...". To your point, I do go for value, but I go for the high... | |
| Killer vintage 70's, 80's reel to reel to add to my setup. The Metaxas & Sins decks are based on the Stellavox SM8, arguably one of the best decks ever produced based on comments I have heard from a few recording engineers. I have the capability with that deck to use the internal electronics for playb... | |
| Killer vintage 70's, 80's reel to reel to add to my setup. Going to be hard to find a new deck for $7.500. J-Corder refurbished decks could be had in your price range and United Home Audio decks have gone up quite a bit in price over the years. Metaxas is well above your budget. Otherwise, I'm not sure wh... |
