| Excellent article in Stereophile It looks like much of what Ralph-Atma Sphere, has said is true.Odd ordered harmonics, when reduced relative to the even, make for a more listenable amp.B | |
| Magnepan Sweet Spot My first call would be to Magnepan.They have great customer service and should be able to direct you in enhancing you speaker placement.Second, I would consider some room treatments. It sounds like your room might have some issues. I love the Magg... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados It was RV who introduced me to Currentzis. For the most part, I like his interpretations. The Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto is one of my new favorites.I listened to an album of Micheal Gielen that had two performances of the Mahler 6th, both were qu... | |
| The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre? @golfnutz,I don't think Eric is trying to solicit negative comments.Quite the opposite.He just want to find out why people find Pass amps are so desirable.@audiofound, Read Ralph Karsten's posts regarding harmonics. They tell the reason.B | |

| Revel speakers - dealer scuttlebutt Your experience is kind of what I had when I went to a dealer near me.He had Golden Ear, but I told him I remembered Vandersteen and liked them.He said: 'Vandersteen is old tech'.When I auditioned the Golden Ear and said I didn't care for them, he... | |
| The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre? @tomic601 , How I envy you...I hate to sidetrack, and, I probably should just PM you, but I'm here...You mentioned you had both a non-Twenty and Twenty version of an Ayre amp. Could you describe the differences between the two versions?I keep wond... | |
| Streamer Recommendation I have only listened to the Aurender at my dealer.When he switched out the Bluesound to the Aurender it was very different-in a good way. I believe it was a N100. This was fed to an Ayre Codex. I think the W20 is supposed to be higher up on the la... | |
