| Class-D amps - a different re view Hi Vince, excellent point about dwindling NOS tubes. . . eventually these animals should be declared endangered species and given a modicum of protection against careless use by heartless audiophiles!You have good chances of being correct about th... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Hi Atma, I do grant you that these show hotels seem to have lucky spaces and very very unlucky ones. Trying to Tame the wildness of some suite I am sure must be a frustratingly thankless task. . . . perhaps as easy as herding cats?! Is one of the ... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Oh yes, let's not forget that flabby bass, or conversely that magic vanishing bass, or that sudden hard clipping: these are apparently more artifacts that plague room acoustics where some tube designs are featured. . . Yet, if switching amps or so... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view That's interesting MRT. . . roaming the halls and suites at RMAF I was actually dismaied by how so many tube designs at all price points were trying to out-solid-state solid state designers. . . and succeeding admirably, tizziness (additive flaw p... | |
| Jeff Rowland 201´s or Ayre V-5 X That's interesting info DBLD. What is the efficiency and impedance curve of the Legacy Whispers? The Enterprises are on my short list of amps to listen to. What is the main criticism from Stereophile? Guido | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view And -- needless to say -- mediocrity in art is very much like greatness, quite alive and well. | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Ralph. . . I typically dispense with visual frivolities [chuckles!] does that make me a 'purer' kind of audiophile who is inherently better capable of grokking the ineffability of true sonic beauty? But here's the rub, some fellow audiogoners that... | |
| Jeff Rowland 201´s or Ayre V-5 X Mikemitchell1, if you enjoied the JRDG 302, you should have a listen to the new 312: wonderful to my ears. . . it's my current favorit amp. . . heard it just the other week at RMAF in the Soundings suite.DBLD, I heard the M201 driving a pair of Ma... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Thank you larryi, the only larger class D monoblocks Rowland makes are the model 301. Here are the dymensions:10.6" x 15.5" x 18.3". Weight is 80Lbs each. One probs they have is to have a relatively low damping factor of only 60, which is likely ... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Hi JW, you forgot to mention the brand/model of your class D amp. | |
| Why so little Primare gear on A'gon? Bad rep? For the 2nd year in a row I listened to Primare gear at RMAF in the Soundings suites. This year one of the two suites featured all Primare electronics driving a pair of Vienna Beethoven Baby Grands. Very very fine sound indeed. The second room fea... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I'll be back to RMAF next year for sure as well. Auditioning Supratek will be one more reason to attend. . . by the way, It was great to meet you in Denver Slipknot1! Guido | |
| Some impressions from the 2007 RMAF: I am planning to be back next year lest something drastic happens. . . 'tis time again to rack up another load of those AA Advantage miles and Marriott 'frequent sleeper miles'! | |
| Some impressions from the 2007 RMAF: Anyone visited the Odyssey suite? I was tremendously impressed with what Klaus did for $5K consisting of a 12AX7 pre, a solid state amp and speakers equipped with ScanSpeak drivers. With my test CD the system sounded fast, musical, harmonically te... | |
| McIntosh C1000 tube pre vs. ARC Ref 3? Sparkster, for a touch of added warmth you may want to vary the cable configuration rather than switching electronic components. Try for example a length of Purist Anniversary between the CDp and your linestage. |
