| NHT3.3 to Viena Acoustic Mahlers having fallen in love with Vienna Acoustic Mahlers at RMAF 2006, I have ordered a pair this last Summer, and received them in early November 2007. I have now started a thread to chronicle their break in and discuss various Mahler related matters. ... | |
| Some impressions from the 2007 RMAF: OK gang, after falling in love with them at RMAF 2006 and 2007, my new Mahlers have finally arrived. I have just started a thread to discuss their break in process and other Mahler-related matters. See you all at:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/... | |
| Vandersteen 5a's - an upgrade from Vienna mahlers? I have finally taken the plunge. . . retired my Maggies IIIAs and just received a brand new pair of Vienna Mahlers. I have now started a thread to chronicle their break in and discuss Mahler related stuff. See you all at:http://forum.audiogon.com/... | |
| New versions of Vienna Mahlers, Strauss? Finally I have taken the plunge. . . retired my Maggie IIIAs and have just received a brand new pair of Mahlers. . . . and promptly started a thread to chronicle their break in process and discuss Mahler related matters. . .http://forum.audiogon.c... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view I knew you would agree TVAD. . . As a case in point, have a listen to a well broken-in Spectron Musician 3 SE when you have the opportunity. . . I'd be interested in your findings. | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Could be, 'nihil sub Sole novi' after all. Marketing rationale may be a factor for determining pricing point of some stereo component. I have seen--or should I better say heard--entire systems at RMAF that sounded terrible. . . and sported price t... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Very true TVAD, almost as inexpensive as 6550 tubes or just about any transistor or cap used in traditional designs ranging from a couple of hundred dollars up to stratospheric prices.. . . To tell the truth, I do not really care about the cost of... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Hi Branimir, I have not heard the JRDG 301s so I cannot comment about their sound, and can even less venture tu guess on whether I would prefer them over other comparably priced designs, which I have also not auditioned. On spec only, I am slightl... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Branimir, I agree with your finding on the Rowland 302. It is worth pointing out though that the 302 was JRDG 1st venture in class D, and was replaced in 2006 by the 312, which sounds quite a bit different, and to these ears is both more musical a... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view I haven't thought about it much MRT. . . when did you first realize you were obsessing about class D amplification? . . . Impacting your life? . . . Care talking about it? | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Elbroth2, what switching amps besides the already mentioned Nuforce and Bel canto have you evaluated? | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Of course you are correct, Elberoth2. As I said earlier, for any technology there are stereotypical distortions, brand typical distortions, and atypical ones. Where I have problems is characterizing distortions in tube gear as 'benign' as a whole.... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view "Consider that because you have heard some tube amps which have coloration does not mean that all of them are like that."I agree with you Atma. With any technology there exists stereotypical coloration/distortion, there is also brand-typical color... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view What can I say, sadly, I am probably not a member of the species 'Homo sapiens', because 'tubey' distortion do not sound at all priviledged to these poor ears. [chuckles!] Oh well, guess there are worse things in life! | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view I'll drink to that, Zilla!By the way, what amps have you compared before /after selecting your Nuforce? And what were relative strengths/weaknesses? |
