| Review: The Merrill Audio Veritas Monoblocks Hi Michael, I responded to your PM.... BTW, love the K-01.... Too bad it was not in the cards when I had the opportunity of purchasing the review unit. | |
| Review: The Merrill Audio Veritas Monoblocks MBump, If you were interested, my own take on the Veritas is at:http://positive-feedback.com/Issue68/merrill_audio.htmRegards, | |
| Great Flugelhorn Recordings For an intensely lysical slightly different flugel sound, look at the classical transcriptions played by the Russian virtuoso Sergey Nakariakov on a very custom Courtois 4-valve flugelhorn with an 8 inch bell...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LiX... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi Labtec, if you go to CES, try to have a look at class D offerings from * Rowland: possibly present might be - Daemon superintegrated ($42K), - Continuum S2 integrated ($9.5K).

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thank you LabTec, yes you are right... To each his own. I am delighted that you love all your tube and SS amps.Personally, I do not seek amps that emulate the sound of anything in particular. I seek devices that instantiate the sound signature and... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Teranis is a lovely amp indeed. Yes, I would consider its overall performance as a junior, and perhaps subtly warmer version of the Merrill Veritas.In its default configuration of 26dB gain, Teranis will do fine with moderately large speakers tha... | |
| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube Hi Keith, doing well, and... Wow, I knew I was forgetting something important.... Fact is that Burmester is my other prefered uber-high SS brand, together with Solution and Rowland.How could I forget, given that I was the one who pointed Matt onto... | |
| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube Hi Audiolabyrinth, I am absolutely vdelighted to hear that you love your class A amp. I feel exactly the same about my class D Rowland M925, which like your own device, appears to have a propensity for conveying feet shuffling, page turning, and..... | |
| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube Hi ENIAC, your post could not be timelier. On Friday 11th, Marc Mickelson of The Audiobeat, posted his review of the Rowland M825 stereo amp, which sports those very class D NCore NC1200 modules that you have experienced in your system.Marc's fin... | |
| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube George, the answer is... Yes, the current switching frequencies of approximately 500KHz in the power conversion modules are sufficient for some OEMs to implement some marvellous-sounding amps.... Kuribo and several others have already mentioned so... | |
| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube Thank you George, yes I have heard the screaches you describe, as well as the dark uninvolving sound several times at RMAF.... Quite consistently from some class D brands, and unfortunately equally consistently from some brands that produce otherw... | |
| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube Hi George, what would you deem to be a sonically safe switching frequency for future class D modules?Do you know of any such "Upcoming Attractions" with higher switching rates preparing their entry to market?Meantime, Yesterday I checked the NCore... | |
| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube Thank you Kuribo, could not have said it better myself!To be honest gents, most amps leave me cold, regardless of underlying topology... Be it triod, push pull, OTL, SS class A, SS class A/B, analog class D, or digital. On occasion, there are a fe... | |
| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube Atma, sadly, I had read your post very carefully... I was hoping to avoid pointing out to you that your logic is painfully flawed.Essentially you are stating that while class D persists on an evolutionary curve, at any particular point of the curv... | |
| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube Atma, I extend to you the invitation to get out of the house more often. Believe it or not, evolution or not, there is already "Wonderful Life" out there to behold. Oddly enough, it is not even based on tubes, OTL, or classic SS topologies.To quot... |
