| Class-D amps - a different re view Ah yes of course, charming cliche! . . . I truly enjoied it, thanks! | |
| Balanced outputs vs balanced design An other linestage I have enjoyed very much and may in fact soundly slightly sweeter on the Halcro MC20 than Ref 3 is the VTL 6.5 Mk2 hybrid. . . still a truly balanced design and truly magnificent. Were I now in the market for a linestage I would... | |
| Balanced outputs vs balanced design I own a ARC Ref 3; it is a fabulous differentially balanced linestage, with loads of finesse, micro and macrodynamics; I suspect it will match very well to your Halcro. . I am also exceedingly partial to amps manufactured by Jeff Rowland Design (J... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Vince, tell you the truth. . . I am all for hyperrealism in recordings and in playback. . . I honestly love it and so many times I can hardly have enough of it. Yet. . . you and I know exactly what it is. . . a particular mediated view of reality,... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Hi Vince, that's exactly my point. The sound of rosin for example is extremely faint and can be heard clearly only if you 'are' a microphone, or you are sitting/standing so close to the performer to be socially unacceptable under most circumstance... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view OK gang, now making a feeble attempt to get back on track. . . who has had any experience with the Halcro MC20 or other Halcro class D designs? | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Hmmm, If I had only done my homework. . . I would have been able to answer my own question. MC20 from Halcro is a class D amp indeed. And here is its Stereophile review:http://www.stereophile.com/solidpoweramps/406halcro/ | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Hi Lucey, I have no info on the sound or technology of the Halcro MC20 (is it a digital amp?). Red Dragon in my experience does not have stereotypical 'digital amp' artifacts, but to my ears it may be somewaht dark. I Also remember I was hoping to... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Deshapiro, have you reached a final word on your Spectron vs Boulder 2060 comparison? | |
| Review: Antique Sound Labs Flora EX DT Line Preamplifier Tube preamp Teajay, I heard the Flora at RMAF last month. . . very impressive indeed. My Toronto friend Chris (Frontier1) has shortly after ordered a Flora based on my admittedly far too quick impressions and your fab review. I was also delightfully surprised... | |
| the paradox of accurate speakers "the fact that accuracy may not be confirmed by experience does not invalidate the concept. "Ah yes of course, like there was once upon a time conceptual art. . . MRT's launching now 'Conceptual Audiophilia". . . [Yawn!] | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Bingo MRT, I am very familiar with the problem. . . original live purely unamplified music does not usually sound terribly similar to the recorded product of the same. . . from humble local libraries or world-famous superannuated concert halls ali... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view I am not sure MRT how to acquire a taste for a particular technology. . . I sure do not have a 'taste' for switching amps in cprinciple, same as I do not have a 'taste' for tube amps or classic solid state amps. . . . . I simply try to keep an ope... | |
| the paradox of accurate speakers PBB, what's wrong with blind men -- and women let's not forget -- walking with a cane in downtown traffic. . I do it even in New York [chuckles!]? . . . and how does the admittedly quaint imagery relate to speaker design? | |
| the paradox of accurate speakers Try replacing the word 'accurate' with the word 'congruent'. . . and you will quickly realize that two speakers, both congruent with reality, need not sound at all the same. |
