| Cardas Cold Forging Are we talking red dots, or crimping? | |
| Bow Technologies ZZ8 DAC, Impressions ? So sorry, I am not able to judge. It goes a long way in a direction of the Wadia S7i, which I consider better.But it was prefereable to a Mark Levinson S390.This is as far as my experience goes.I also use a Metric Halo ULN2 (non extended) which is... | |
| Best tube integrated with Merlin TSM-MMI? I would consider the Berning ZH270 as good as it gets, if you have only two sources.I have since moved to the ZH230 with a Berning ZOTL Pre.It works well.e | |
| Berning ZH230 amp I actually own the last Prototype together with a Prototype Pre! It seems disappropriate to discuss money on the web, as anything said, will never disappear; I feel free to describe my feelings about this gear, which in truth, tells more about me,... | |
| Gallo 3.5 vs Merlin VSM-MXe I love my Merlins (VSM MXE) - but my room is Wood/and Plaster, somehow very mellow, so the Merlin fits perfectly; I am a violinist and play an early Guarneri, which somehow has a similar balance of grit, warmth and clarity; so I feel right at home... | |
| Bow Technologies ZZ8 DAC, Impressions ? I own a ZZ8 with the updated DAC, version 2007; it resides in my home, in my studio is a Wadia S7i.the Wadia is indeed "better" in the sense of space and grip of a pianos initial sound pronounciation - but to be honest: both are really great, and ... | |
| Berning ZH230 amp Well i am far into the berning - the simple difference to the elder zh 270 is the finer grain, more perceptible than the difference of power , at least with my vsm mxe's. Go for it! | |
| driving Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations? As a longtime owner of an Accuphase E550 and a Berning ZH270, now followed by a ZH230 (which stays!) I can only endorse Tubegroovers statement: I'm infatuated as well. I must admit, that I have heard the E550 with the P/E (which was great), but no... | |
| audiopax Model 5 I actually own one, and just got the new Power unit, which makes it very different. Hence my question..e | |
| OTL Tube Amp for Maggie 3.6? there's a lot of hearsay in this thread, so I won't refrain from adding mine:A good friend of mine has successfully used Maggies with two ZH270 by David Berning - nowadays you might want to go with the Quadrature Z, that would be heaven!Said frien... | |
| Accuphase C2400 How does it compare? I don't quite understand, how you can be down to about 4 preamps, hence you (seem) to know little about it. I presume you have read the sales-blur? I have had the Accuphase E550, regret having sold it. This integrated is somewhat a C2400 plus A30,... | |
| solid state amp for merlin tsm's ? if you do not need more than one source:RWA sig30.I bought it in a moment to bridge the time before my Berning ZH230 arrived.this is a very good choice, albeit bear in mind you'll have to recharge the batteries.. | |
