| How does Berning ZH270 compare to Cary Cad211 AE ? 711smilin:Thanks for the heads-up on the Dodd 120s. Their website is pretty thin though... any reviews out there online?? Are the 120s class A? Low feedback? Have you tried their pre-amp?I'll email the designer also, but am hoping for more impress... | |

| Best Balanced Solid State/Tube Preamps Kmiller5:It may be tough to audition, but try listen to a tubed Silvaweld SWC-1000 linestage:Remote controlled volume, selector, and phase.Nickel-alloy transformer coupled using 417A triodes.Separate power supply uses 300B as voltage regulator and... | |
| Class D Amp For 'Stats? Try the Channel Islands D-200s which use UcD modules. These modules take feedback at the speaker terminals and are said to be load independent which would mate particularly well with speakers having large impedance swings. Said to be the best soun... | |
| Integrated for B&W 805 Signatures Congrats on the speakers! I've tried driving mine with a couple dozen ss and digital combos/integrateds under $5K over the last 3 years, and wasn't happy till I auditioned an Audiomat Arpege Reference.However, Audiomat's Opera is a big step up fro... | |
| First Impressions of a First Watt - the Aleph J Glider:Two questions:What's the retail cost of the Audion pre-amp?How does the Aleph compare to your former Canary amps? | |
| Special birthday audio gift to yourself? Treated myself to B&W 804s for the big four-ohhh... but they didn't last long: something odd in the balance (cross-over??) and ultimately too much bass for my room. So I swapped 'em for Signature 805s and haven't looked back (two years and goi... | |

| Nuforce NOTHING compares to a good tube amp - like mine! Audiomat Opera: 30wpc pure class A push-pull.I had the original NuForce model 8s in my system for a month, but wanted to return them the day I got 'em. Compared to tubes, the NuForce does not do har... | |
| Channel Islands D-100 Amplifier Does Channel Islands offer a 30-day in-home audition?? | |
| Help me choose an amp Tvad:How do the Channel Islands D100s measure up to your VAC, in terms of tonality, "truth of timbre", and harmonic portrayal? TIA | |
| Audiomat Opera/Recital Psc:My front end is a Modwright SONY 999 with Signature Truth mods (tubed output) and the Opera drives B&W Signature 805 monitors.You might want to try the Prelude as well, but it's not fully class A like the Opera, nor does it use the Opera's... | |
| Audiomat Opera/Recital The Opera is outstanding - it ended my amplifier merry-go-round of some 20 moderately-priced amps (mostly solid-state or digital) and sounds best with its stock tubes. Extremely natural, warm but not syrupy, harmonically rich, textured bass, exten... | |
| Any opinions on Audiomat Amps? I'd agree the Audiomat Arpege has issues with the bass and a treble that tends to roll off, but this thing MAKES MUSIC, which is more than I can say for the majority of solid-state and digital amps I've auditioned in the last few years... The midr... |
