| regarding the Tiger Paw tranquility This mod gets quite a lot of good press. Nonetheless, I,too,am interested on the thoughts to the OP’s question. Assuming that there are negatives...Although, like I stated in the other thread, there has been rumor of slippage between the upper mag... | |
| Rockport Avior 2 vs Wilson Sasha DAW Listen to both speakers if you can. The Rockports are, at least IMHO, still utilizing the rather ragged sounding beryllium dome for the tweeter. The DAW utilizes the far smoother- and IME extend sounding silk dome ..same as utilized in their WAMM!... | |

| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? @danl77 I hope you had that problem looked at!Meanwhile, please let's just stay on the subject. | |
| Thoughts about Jadis and Harbeth @freediver So, you are annoyed that you had to go through a biasing procedure with the ‘supposed’ Jadis amp that you auditioned. While I agree with you that biasing a tube amp is usually not much fun, Jadis utilize several auto biasing schemes i... | |
| Thoughts about Jadis and Harbeth @freediver I don’t know what Jadis products you were looking at, but I can tell you IME everything you stated about them is false! The amps are built like tanks and are anything BUT flimsy!!! Same goes for their preamps.( Plus their parts quality ... | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? @czcharlie I don’t think that really answers my OP. Unfortunately, IME in high end ...a lot of times you really do NOT get what you pay for. As the pricing structure in the hobby has escalated, the fact seems to be that you more often do NOT get w... | |
| Time traveling to the San Diego audiophile scene, circa 2000 Very nice article. I was a member of the SDMAG ( i still am, I think??) and the article gave me some good memories. John Thomas was a great guy, sad that he is no longer with us. Today, Stereo Design is no more, Bruce is still at Stereo Unlimited ... | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? @atmasphere Very interesting post. Why is it that you think that the DBX folks won't even consider the type of amp your are suggesting in a DBX trial? | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? @atmasphere You bring up a great point! What is "objectively audible"??I suspect that "objectively audible" is going to be far more objective to some than others. Possibly those that have made up their minds in advance that no such audible diffe... | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? @keithr I would agree that the Dartzeel amps are certainly at, or near, the top of ss amps..as to SQ. What is interesting to me, is that the Dartzeel amps I have heard are not significantly superior sounding to my Rowland. Whilst they better th... | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? @zavato I think your post would seem to be very correct..although I think it applies perhaps a little more to ss amps than tube. For example, I think the new KT 120 and KT150’s are a superior sounding tube to the old KT88’s and 6550’s utilized b... | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? Folks, while I very much like my high powered Jeff Rowland ss amp, it really isn’t as resolving as the Jadis tube mono blocks that I use as my main amplification source. The two amps sound pretty different, and are a different ‘flavor’...easy to h... | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? @atmasphere Distortion is an interesting term. Distortion compared to what? You mention that the human ear treats 2nd and 3rd harmonic distortion favorably. Therefore, one needs to question whether these distortions are distortions at all. Since... | |
| Thoughts about Jadis and Harbeth I would second the recommendation by your dealer for the Jadis Orchestra. |
