Moscode 401HR's Sonic Character
"Actually I find the 10,000 products in their Class A list quite useful.:-)))))"which of course would be even more useful if they had a colorful picture."I know six people who have auditioned the amp in their homes, and every one has purchased it....

Audio Icon/Idol - Who would you like to meet?
I can't think of the guys's name. He created the mapleknoll turntable. Anyway he was carrying a cannon in his car which actually dischrged in a gas station while he was filling up his tank.How would you like to explain that to the nice police offi... 
Quads - Just a couple of questions
"would atma m60 have enought power for a 4 ohm load with less than 87 db? Would you need the zero-autoformer?"I am against the autoformer which IMO is just a a fancy name for transformer and defeats the purpose of the OTL. I think 60 wats is enoug... 
Quads - Just a couple of questions
Duane- I agree with you. OTL is the way to go. Atma-sphere M-60. As if Ralph needed another plug. 
Quads - Just a couple of questions
3. The Quads are both and inefficient and limited in thier abilty to handle power. You should pursue quality amp over sheer power.2.You are tallking low level resolution vs the 1.6 s need to be played loud. Both are high level resolution. Both ten...

Best AMP for Avalon Eidolon, ARC, CAT, VAC..?
"...deep, tight, agile and articulate bass..."Rushton that is quite a compliment coming from a tube amp. If my memeory serves correct you do not use a subwoofer. Every amp I use get's the benefit of not having to reproduce the low frequencies, whi...

Who Do You Credit For Getting You Into This Hobby?
"Who Do You Credit For Getting You Into This Hobby?"At this point it's more like, Who do I blame? I've made a lot of friends and some enemies. Spent much money and a lot of time. Finally created club gregadd in my living room. When I head into ret... 
Moscode 401HR's Sonic Character
I have used the 401hr w/o my subs. Overall the 401 hr is a balanced amp from top to bottom. It satisfies my need for speed. I recall puting on a piano album. I had to check to see if I had left the turntable on 45 instead of 33. It has an uncanny ... 
The current SOTA SACD player
I don't think ALP is doing anything unethical. Nor is the Doc.It is ok for ALP to point out that the Doc's claim that EMM is the best must be qualified by the fact that he has never heard ALPs product.We get it. I do however agree that nobody sho... 
SPICA revival and modification
I loved the Spica's. But you should know that the brilliance of Spica was it's ability to tame the beamy Audax tweeter. Its solution was basicaly to tilt the tweeter up so you were listenig off axis.I suugest that you can use more modern tweeters. 
If boulder is tops what is second tier?
Which sort of begs the question-What should cables do? The easy answer is to pass the sgnal so it is the same on both ends. It would seem to be simple. It is clear that many cables are acting as filters/equalizers. Either intentionally or as the r...
