| New Rouge Dragon amplifier Yes the that’s what i have heard from some people.... I will find out because my Marantz Ref PM10 is class D..... Yes this Marantz uses the same N-Core 500 modules as the Dragon and M600’s, so your not really upgrading but rather going sideways w... | |
| New Rouge Dragon amplifier henrycai OP Yes I agree George but would like to get some input from people who own or at least heard unit... Seems to be the Hypex NC500 N-Cores, if you listen to or read reviews on the Belcanto 600M monoblocks they’ll sound like these with a b... | |
| Focal Sopra 3 vs Wilson Audio Sasha W/P (series 1) Assuming you still have the ARC 75 amps, it looks to me like you’re going to make the same mistake as you did with the Sasha’s. 👍Wilsons luv current, big tubes will do, but still can't equal a good SS like a Gryphon or D'agostiono ect ect ect for... | |
| New Rouge Dragon amplifier Another Class-D this time using tube input, should give the Class-D a little color into it’s sound.Cheers George | |
| Any reason to go with anything other than Sanders Magtech for Martin Logan Summit X You might really want a drop in upper octave output, in which case a high output impedance amp (i.e. tube) will suit your needs. "I inserted impedance above"as this is what will give " a drop in upper octave output " of an esl with tube. This is ... | |
| Resistors vs.peltz Autoformer- Differences gdnrbob OP3,025 posts01-31-2020 9:05am@georgehifi .That isn’t what this thread is about.I just wanted a clear explanation of what these 2 devices are doing.Ralph and Almarg provided that. BobI understand that’s all "you" wanted to know, but it’s t... | |
| Resistors vs.peltz Autoformer- Differences Look all, to prove it to yourselves that Zero's are a band-aid fix, just put a pair on an amp and speaker that have NO problems with each other and hear what happens, SOUND QUALITY TAKES A BIG HIT!We've done the experiment at our audio society mee... | |
| Resistors vs.peltz Autoformer- Differences gdnrbob OP Both seem to allow the amp to perform 'better', Wrong.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/resistors-vs-peltz-autoformer-differences/post?postid=1874053... | |
| Looking to get the best out of Redbook Cd listening with Dac a d Transport under 5K? goldenears19 OP Mirror Audio Tubadour III DAC and like the result. I just purchased the Schiit-Yggdrasil DAC One great dac is the Aqua Hifi La Voice All good suggestions for R2R Multibit dacs, as I said the best way to convert Redbook PCM CD 1... | |
| Resistors vs.peltz Autoformer- Differences No matter how you look at it, resistor "parallel", with the amp terminals makes the amp work harder, and have more distortion, run hotter, will go out of it’s Class-A bias earlier and sound maybe harder. If the resistor is in series then you screw... | |
| Any reason to go with anything other than Sanders Magtech for Martin Logan Summit X Magtech. 100 percent. The only amp designed to follow the crazy impedance swings and capacitive nature of an electrostatic panel. Not so true with ML ESL's, do a search on SNA for Summits and the Magtech, it had problems blowing fuses when pus... | |
| Resistors vs.peltz Autoformer- Differences atmasphere In the context of this thread, George’s comments don’t add upSorry but I have to assume that "you" didn’t read everything almarg While using a resistor "will lighten the load on the amp" Also, damping factor will be affected very diff... | |
| Benchmark ABH2 amp and full range electrostatics, e.g. CLX or Soundlab and like you whether the doubling of output impedance would pose a problem in regards to the very low impedance the CLX has above 8 kilohertz. Yes and this is why you should get the "correct amp" that has no problem with this loading. And not ... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101 btbluesky OP The new John Curl Parasound Halo JC1+ have just been released, even better than the old ones, maybe you should have a look at these. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/new-parasound-halo-jc1-monoblocks-just-released Cheers Ge... | |
| Benchmark ABH2 amp and full range electrostatics, e.g. CLX or Soundlab soundhound Benchmark ABH2 amp and full range electrostatics, e.g. CLX or Soundlab Should be fine, but I would not use a "bridged ABH2’s" (mono’ed) into these sort of ESL 1ohm loads, as the stability won’t be as good and the current ability to dr... |
