| Preamp no longer makes a difference after caps and wire Sounds to me like some has designed and manufactured the "worlds best preamp", the mythological "straight wire with gain"!!!!! No colourations/distortions just the sound of, well, like going direct with source to amp.Cheers George | |
| Class A Solid State Sound no correction feedback at all It would have had local not global feedback, just around the input/driver section not the output stage this is a very good feedback system first used/invented I believe by Matti Otala many years ago 70’s 80’s, just l... | |
| Class A Solid State Sound but what’s the opinion of you guys on the capacitor-lifespan of a quality pure Class-A amp - 10, 15 years, or more? If the interior of the amp is getting hot then yes the life of caps diminish considerably, they dry out and can leak. Not a bad ... | |
| Class A Solid State Sound That's it you need schooling end of story, go here to this Electronic lecture pay for the 8.1MB download, and learn something about BJT complementary pairs vs Mosfet complementary pairs and how BJT's (bi-polar's) can drive into lower impedances wi... | |
| Class A Solid State Sound I would never even look at a Gryphon. Shame, but your entitled to that opinion. A pill! I love that old expression, my mom used it a lot. Yep, the shoe fits in his case.Cheers George | |
| Class A Solid State Sound Go away Koost, you are a pill, and have no idea really. | |
| Class A Solid State Sound Is ME mainly confined to the Australian market? I have not heard of them. They were much in the line of today’s Gryphon Antileon Evo’s, maybe that’s where they got the ideas from.Believe it or not these were made back 1990’s by Peter Stein of ME S... | |
| Class A Solid State Sound This is the reason I put up with the downsides of Class A amps, namely, heat, weight, and cost, cost of the amp and the cost of additional electricity. I haven’t heard any other amp topology that gets me as engaged with the music as Class A. Corre... | |
| Reference Recordings only doing hybrid cd/sacd now, sad I'm gone. If you feel that strongly about I would switch to downloads for RR. Sorry done the A/B, and now I don't do downloads.Cheers George | |
| Pure Class A amps above 100 Watts? Nobody but you George has ever questioned that these operate in Class A It's a play on words. " 300 Watts continuous rms into 8 ohms in Class A 600 Watts continuous rms into 4 ohms in Class A" If this above is to be believed as your are bel... | |
| Reference Recordings only doing hybrid cd/sacd now, sad I'm gone. mahler123Does RR issue downloads?Yes. https://referencerecordings.com/format/downloads/Cheers George | |
| Reference Recordings only doing hybrid cd/sacd now, sad I'm gone. SACD is DSD with a flag, I’m an R2R Multibit man, I’ll leave it at that.And no the laser is fine.Cheers George | |
| Class A Solid State Sound MOSFETs obviously drive plenty of current into very low ohm loads. Don't try to twist it again in other direction to save face.The argument here has always been, what can drive "more current" into "low impedance loads"? Mosfet or BJT output sta... | |
| Pure Class A amps above 100 Watts? Sorry Mitch you been had, this is A/B what you think is Class-A."Class A Operation / Fully Balanced / XLR Inputs Only"This is not an indication of 300w Class-A."300 Watts continuous rms into 8 ohms"This is an indication of rms watts Class-A/B"Powe... | |
| Reference Recordings only doing hybrid cd/sacd now, sad I'm gone. This is what I received back from RR." We do make some new titles as compact disc only, but they are projects that we don't feel are appropriate for surround-sound which we include on the SACD releases. I do hope we don't lose you as a customer... |
