| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? @stringreen Wow, strange. I think that there could still be a room node that you are hearing. Do you have any acoustical damping in your room/system?@mgattmch That is one of the issues that I think has gotten significantly better with many ss a... | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? @mgattmch I would bet that your old Krell KSA 250 would give most ss amps today a very tough run for their money! @stringreen What you describe must be a bit infuriating! If it is just in the left channel, have you tried simple things like swap... | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? Just to be clear...I am CERTAINLY NOT saying that there is no difference in SQ between ss amps. I have heard many ss amps that are strident and non-resolving, among many other issues that they have. OTOH, I am questioning whether there is that muc... | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? @stringreen How old is your Ayre? I am surprised that the company couldn’t detect the ’noise’ on the left channel!! It is definitely something that they should have picked up, because IMO ’IF’ you can hear it, it should be something that can be pi... | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? @hifiman5 Your point seems to be that the parts are definitely improved, but the overall circuit designs are about the same; which is why I was questioning those with more technical expertise as to why this seems to be the case. | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? @stringreen That’s the thing, and my question, why hasn’t ss amp design progressed through the years? Although, it would appear that to some it has...yet my listening tests seemed to indicate that the improvements are very small. | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? @don_c55 Actually I don’t think so. I heard the comparisons in various systems, so unless they are all sub-par, your theory isn’t applicable.@ cleeds. While that may be the case, it seems to me that if that is the case, it doesn’t explain the tec... | |
| Well Tempered Labs Record Player, thoughts on a used one? @sdv0983 Actually the 'WTA' Black arm is considerably different from the standard silver arm. The Silver arm ( stock) does not feature the one piece arm/headshell of the Black version- and has different tonearm cabling. | |
| Speaker advice for listening to Blues music I think for great Blues you need a speaker that is very good at reproducing strings. Acoustic strings are an important part of much Blues...if the speaker can reproduce acoustic strings exceedingly well..then the rest will follow, IME. Your budget... | |
| Can anyone hear the difference when you add REL subwoofers when playing two channel IMHO, the whole point of adding in subs is to extend the bottom end response, the ease of the system to fill the room, the ability to extend the soundstage and to aid in the main speaker’s ability in the mids and top end. If you can hear the contr... | |
| Speakers for a small room @ostrey93 Not sure i would call a room that is 11x16x7'10" as small! That is a fairly good size...and has reasonable volume. Nonetheless, I think you are probably on the right track with stand mounts and a couple of REL Subs. Take a look at my sys... | |
| Troubleshooting EAD DSP-7000 - Static/Whirring Sound If you really like your EAD 7000, you might consider buying mine....it is in immaculate condition and is a MK 3 version in Black. I had it on A'gon but withdrew it. ( too many tire kickers asking stupid questions) I have it on US A'mart. Might be ... | |
| MORE Esoteric problems One of the reasons I acquired my Esoteric player is that the transport and laser sled can still be repaired and at a cost that isn't too exorbitant. Before I bought my Esoteric ( you can see it in my member Virtual System) I had listened to a numb... | |
| New Sonus Faber Electa Amator 3...anybody heard these yet? @dsholl1 Very nice. Congratulations. I’m sure you will enjoy your EA3’s. They look to be a great speaker, doesn’t surprise me that you like them better than the GT’s. | |
| New Sonus Faber Electa Amator 3...anybody heard these yet? Agreed, the SF stand mounts typically really work well with tubes. The GH’s and the JA30Mk2’s are an excellent match..I would guess the same would apply to the EA3’s. |
