| Accuphase integrated amps - tape loop function? Frankly, I have no idea: I have been using for a while the E550 with the Merlin VSM MXe to great success, very comarable to the Berning version, which says a lot for that great amp! but ultimately I could not stand the flash look of it, so passed ... | |
| ATC vs Merlin ..sorry forgot the TSM'sI find them amazing, using them as monitoring speakers for my own recordings (you'll find me) so here I can unreservedly recommend these speakers as best monitors I ever used! (This includes Sonus Faber Guarneris, which I l... | |
| ATC vs Merlin I am a professional violinist, no way affilitated to either companies. I own Merlins, both VSM at home, and TSM in studio.So addmittedly biased ;-)I friend of mine uses ATC active, which is an extremely appealing way of using theses speakers, dont... | |
| Gryphon Diablo or Accuphase E-450 I own an E55o with Merlin VSM, and it is close to the performance of my Berning ZH270 and Prototype-Pre, which says a lot, the latter being one of the classic speaker-amp combinations. Depending on your power requirements, you might prefer the Cla... | |
| Best Integrated, period. Berning ZH270. It may not be what you expect, with a volume pot and two line in,but it is something to have heard. I own the Accuphase E550, which I consider wonderful, and on a par with the Einstein "the absolute tune", Pathos TT - the Berning is... | |
| Bookshelf Help: Revel v. Merlin v. SFaber v Vienna Hi,first the disclaimer: I own both the latest generation VSM and TSM speakers. Being a musician, I use these speakers for work. Beside that, I enjoy the TSM together with the Berning ZH270 more than I would ever have said it about the SF Guarneri... | |
| sugden masterclass vs. accuphase E550 please do not respond to this thread anymore: I have had it reworded with accuphase vs sugden, and somehow, it got some of you guys going, it seems sugden does not move us enough??post in the other thread please.. | |
| accuphase class A vs. Sugden class A ..and, I do not know the acoustic plan. the sugden i purchased, because it had to go, but i won't loose anything in case. I just wondered about the accuphase, as it would mean to minimise (If you call such a big thing minimal) | |
| accuphase class A vs. Sugden class A Hello, I now have a masterclass power amp, which is with 70W Class A quite a beast for the small Merlin Tsm. So far so good, except that it has not run and seems slightly cool (in sound, not temperature..)I am a violinist, and listen mainly acoust... | |
| What's your profession? Age? musician - to be traced through my user name, if anybody cares :-) my system needs to satisfy for monitoring as for fun, worth?? Well, lets put it this way: Less than my fiddle, but more than my car - but then I drive a lovely old Saab ;-)Simply a... | |
| merlin with conrad johnson? well here I am with the berning, having sold my stella speakers in order to make space for the merlins. The surprise will all be mine, i suppose. I have checked the berning in the studio (on a sota sovereign analysis system, which is quite ineffic... | |
| Bow ZZ8 replacement I have had mine updated! Clear answer, and I may spill the beans, by mentioning danish VAT: They charge 1600€ plus shipping, but you may deduct 25%, which makes it a decent proposal, especially, as I prefer it in its exuberant understatement ;-)I ... | |
| merlin with conrad johnson? Hello, the einstein is called "the absolute tune" which seems somewhat absolute to me, but it does deliver; I am not a technician, it is an ciclotron-OTL design making 50 watts, and not output tubes: it actually uses one mosfet per channel, but ha... | |
| merlin with conrad johnson? hi bobby!(I have asked him of course before, so this his public answer detailed elsewhere before: Thanks!)I notice, Einstein does not appear in this equation? I suppose it is too early, as it has been just a year since they appeared in the states,... | |
| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? i have one to add: Einstein -the absolute tune, looks unfortunately a bit pompous, but some people go for that..I have used the Krell 300iL, which I love with demanding speakers and for its handlability. The real treat though was the Pathos Twin T... |
