| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... By the way, Tvad is a happy Audio Note owner, last I checked with him. | |
| Do you enjoy the sound at your local Theater Plex? We saw Interstellar at an iMax theater last week. Wow -- possibly the greatest cinema experience I've ever had. Not necessarily a great movie, but damn, what a trip on the super big screen. Didn't seem too loud either. | |
| Do you enjoy the sound at your local Theater Plex? Thanks Czarivey. Here in the SF Bay Area, as far as I know, we don't have any premium theaters of that kind. But after I posted my earlier comment, I remembered going to a theater like that in Hollywood a few years ago and being knocked out by the... | |
| Do you enjoy the sound at your local Theater Plex? I'd like to know of some specific theaters that use Meyer or Bryston. I think both of those brands are far too expensive for movie theaters, but would like to be wrong about that. | |
| Stereo power amp for $10k Given the efficiency of the Morels and your low- mid-volume listening, you might also consider a Pass XA30.5 or XA30.8. Would save you some money, too. | |
| Tell me about the Ortolan Cadenza Black I think lots of folks prefer the Cadenza Bronze to the Black, if that's an option for you. The Bronze is less expensive. | |
| Comparing the Pass Labs XA30.5 to the XA 30.8 A late post to this thread. I just read Srajan's 6moons review of the 30.8, which I highly recommend. In it, he does comparisons with two of Nelson's First Watt amplifiers and talks about their "lit from within" quality compared to the relatively ... | |
| This might just be the end of brick and mortar I have always interpreted MD's earlier 30-day policy as effectively an in-home demo, though I don't think I've ever tested it. My guess is the change to 60 days is to match Crutchfield. I doubt it will increase the volume of returns for them (30 d... | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... Only in group settings. We used to call it a circle jerk, but in the era of social media, it's more commonly called a Groupon. | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Petero, do you have any experience with the current 8008? Wondering how well it stacks up against the older classic designs. | |
| Best way to output hi res files to DAC? >Since SQ isn't critical given the raw digital outputSorry to tell you this, but it turns out that SQ =is= an issue even with raw digital output. | |
| Parasound A21 vs Bryston 4bsst 2 >for those who say get the Bryston, is it twice as good as the Parasound? That's a poor way to frame the decision. The question you want to ask is whether the Bryston is $2,000 better, or whatever the price difference is. Diminishing returns ki... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Great post, Rebbi. | |
| THE BLACK BY BEL CANTO- NEW REFERENCE I'd like to know what the story is with NAD's new M22 stereo amp. They say it uses NCore technology, but at 250 wpc and $3,000 I don't see how it could be either the NC400 or NC1200 modules. Wonder how it sounds ... ? | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Some transformer passives (maybe autoformers too) have gain, usually up to +6dB. |
