Raidho speaker owners, what solid state amplifier do you use?
Interesting read on the Aavik gear and D x.1 series.  Thanks. 
Raidho speaker owners, what solid state amplifier do you use?
Based a comments from a very well known designer of amplifiers, the Momentum chassis is pure audio jewelry, but there's nothing special about the circuitry. As for sound, I've heard varying opinions. I hope someone can chime in.   
Raidho speaker owners, what solid state amplifier do you use?
If you like the sound of tubes, I feel choice is limited with the Raidhos. Most tube amps seem to be slow and bloated and dynamically restricted when you push the amp hard with Raidhos.  Imo, the only tube amp that whips the Raidho into shape is B...

Hi Phusis, I believe Michael Borrenson, designer of Rhaido speakers, used the NAIM Nait before moving on to ultra expensive Soluution gear.  I've also heard from a Raidho dealer who really likes the Supernait with Raidho.

I remember now. I did hear JR gear with the C1.1 several years ago. It sounded smooth and nonfatiguing but was also a little dry sounding. Overall a good match, but I like the luscious wet sound some tube amps can produce.

Sckoczylas, I heard the Raidho D1 with the Hegel monoblocks.  They are not a good match IMO.  Sound was slow and ponderous and not transparent.  Thanks for your input.

Thanks for reminding me of the Rowland.  I'll have to check it out.  There seems to be some consensus that Raidho's like Class D amps with very high dampening factor.Yes, tubes can be annoying.  But in my Carver, each KT88 output tube idle around ... 
Lampizator Golden Gate Balance With PCM chip-less discrete resistor ladder type
Hi Wisnon, when did Lampizator implement R2R DAC in the Golden Gate?  Is this new? I got the GG last year, and I believe it has a Delta Sigma chip.

Hi thanks for the response. I'm waiting on the D2.1. Suppose to come near end of June.I'm using Golden Lion KT88 reissue with GL signal tubes in my Carver.  It has great midrange, excellent bass extension/dynamics, and smooth high frequency.  The ... 
Replacing a MAC Mini with new one...
Hi Mesch, hope I am not too late in responding. Just my take on the Mac Mini as a music server since my last 3 servers were based on Mac Mini. My first was based on the 2009 Mini that the power supply built into the power cord. Then subsequent ... 
Bedini Class "A" 200/200 power amp vs. MC-2205?
Ah no. I will no longer try to get in touch with Bedini. I've been trying for 3 years with emails, calls, and posting on forums.  Never got a response from Bedini.  My experience reinforces what has been said about Bedini...unreliable, waiting for... 
Raidho D2.1
Xti16, my dealer is in Florida, but I live in Texas now.  Can you give me your dealer? Yea, my dealer price on the upgrade was startling.as for the cabinet, I wasn't talking about the aesthetics. I was referring to the mechanical construction. Tha... 
Raidho D2.1
What sets raidho apart from most other dynamic speaker manufacturers is their own diamond coated midrange/woofer drivers and planar magnetic tweeters.  They are perhaps the most pure sounding drivers out there, rivaling the best electrostatic and ... 
Raidho D2.1
I have the 2.0. I was told that 2.1 has better bass extension and dynamics, but the $15,000 upgrade is outrageous.  I can get an excellent pair of speakers for that sum. I've been a loyal customer having owned the C1.1, D1, and presently D2, but t... 
Bedini Class "A" 200/200 power amp vs. MC-2205?
Mr. Bedini, does your company even exist today? You have a website, and I have tried contacting you by the phone number and email  multiple times.  Never got a response.  I have a 25/25 1 Meg that produced distortion in one channel.  I eventually ...
