Difference between today and yesterday.
This always strikes me as a weird argument - that somehow older technology is supposed to be better. In nearly every area of edeavor/advancement technology is welcomed as improving results/performance. Yet somehow older audio equipment is supposed... 
Which Super Integrated Amp to drive planars?
Kiwi, Answers:#1 From the Pathos website: (If you are still worried over it, email Pathos and they'll get you an answer. The original Classic One had potential issues of oversaturation of the volume input with cdp's having more than 2V volume outp... 
Which Super Integrated Amp to drive planars?
I guess I accidentally put a double link for the LFT-8B above; meant to put the link to the twin Pathos amps article there. Here it is: http://www.dagogo.com/PathosClassicOneMkIII.html 
Which Super Integrated Amp to drive planars?
Kiwi, Ah, I got your attention, did I? It is a most unusual, and excellent performing set up! I like trying alternative methods as they sometimes yield wonderful results. If the two units are within three feet or so of each other you will have no ... 
Which Super Integrated Amp to drive planars?
Here's something different for you; take a look at the twin Pathos Classic One MkIII tube hybrid integrateds that I'm using. 270w into four ohms bridged, super-clean signal path as you run directly from source into the integrateds. You lose a prea... 
Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn
In addition, I inquired of Rega why the units have silent FF function as opposed to virtually every other player under the sun. The answer I was given was that particular functionality had not been built into the chip set. It certainly opens up th...

Thanks for the lead on that article! 
Very Compact Subwoofer
Leedistad, No, I would not build these subs into a cabinet. I'll be using them standing alongside a pair of Eminent Technology LFT-VI speakers, which are wonderfully open and throw a big soundstage but need some low end augmentation. I would like ... 
Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn
Fillmoor, where are you getting this information about computer/software guys designing the system? It would certainly explain why oversights like a silent FF function could occur. I have never heard of an audiophile cdp with a silent FF! Makes it... 
Very Compact Subwoofer
I see there is also a smaller HSU Research sub; I've got some options now! Thanks, everyone, for the leads! 
Very Compact Subwoofer
I could maybe use a "tube" subwoofer if it could be stood on end/vertically. Again, I'd be looking for it fitting into a less than 13" x 13" footprint. 
Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn
Dick, so you thought you had a perfect unit as of about 3 weeks ago when you posted? Using the commands more (as opposed to simply putting on a disc and playing it through) exposed the issues with your player? Because the problems are intermittent... 
Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn
People should test these machines for glitches from commands issued via the controlls on the face of the units. The first two I used ALSO glitched that way. I would not be surprised in the least if the defective units still exhibit this tendency. ... 
Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn
Steve, thank you for responding; it shows Rega is paying attention. I would like to once again state that the Sound Organization and my Rega dealer have worked very hard to resolve the issue. What other company would swap out five units in such a ... 
Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn
I should point out that I did not really expect conversation with Rega's headquarters. It would be exceptional if they contacted one owner of a product with a malfunction. If their dealer is also stating that he has no issues with other buyers the...
