| Theta Prometheus Monoblock vs Bryston 7BSST2 I concur with Bill, Bel Canto has a superb track record with class D amps. Their older REF1000 Mk.2 was an absolute sonic jewel at an attractive price.REF600 is not based on NCore NC1200 like Veritas and Prometheus, but on a yet unnamed NCore tric... | |
| Theta Prometheus Monoblock vs Bryston 7BSST2 Hi Santabarbara, I have not heard the Theta Prometheus yet, but I own and love the Rowland M925 NCore NC1200 monoblocks ($56K/pair), and have reviewed the lovely Merrill Veritas NCore NC1200 monos ($12K/pair) for Positive Feedback:http://positive-... | |
| Jeff Rowland battery preamp - powercord influence? Hi Breezer, I have no experience with older Rowland battery-powered pres, but have used Criterion for several years, until just about a year ago.By definition, when Criterion was on battery power, the power cord had no effect on the sound. What is... | |
| New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE Hi Sebastian, now I understand.... And I agree completely with you. If a component is particularly neutral, the components upstream and downstream will be somewhat more responsible for imparting a "desired" or "undesired" flavor to the output.In m... | |
| New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE Sebollo, M22 and Bel Canto Ref600 are completely different designs... Different manufacturer, different circuits, and likely different modules. I would not venture to guess sound of REF600 based on listening to M22.In general, NCore tends to have ... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD All, the name of the VA music speaker in German is "Die Muzik", rather than "Der Muzik".... Muzik in German, French, Italian, and Spanish is a feminine noun, not masculine. Hence... "Die Muzik". G. | |
| Another Yes Mr.D, prima face encounters with reality can be on occasion subtly deceptive. In our particular instance, the taxonomy of the device under consideration would place it withinthe the citrus family of fruiting plants, and most likely to that gen... | |
| Another Mr.D, RHansen's amp appears to be prone to failures. The tendency to such behavior has been remarked elsewhere and elsewhen on Agon for the Kryptobrand in question. It is unlikely that such regretable disposition is influenced by room geometry or ... | |
| New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE Hey Audiozen... Good find! I'll have to check this Bel Canto REF600M baby out.Meantime, here is the REF600M home page:http://www.belcantodesign.com/eOne/products/amplifiers/ref600m-amplifier/Best, Guido | |
| Another Hi Richard, rest assured, CS2 sounds amazing regardless of meds *grins!* | |
| Another Hi Rob, many earlier class D mps sounded a bit sterile, or perhaps hi-fiish. New designs based on Pascal and NCore tend to sound like... Music!G. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD You are right Matt, looking at the web site, Rockna Audio looks, at least on paper, very interesting. The DAC is all based on FPGA, and the server combines a spinning disk player with a server / memory player. I have not found any US prices, the c... | |
| Merrill Teranis amp -- A Review Thank you Metralla for pointing out the pic in error. Merrill's web master will fix it.Meantime, courtesy of Merrill Audio, here is a quick YouTube of the Teranis power meter at work:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn3vSqnc38UG. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Fascinating... Does the carpet provenance make a difference.... Tabriz vs Ardebil? Age... design... Knot count... Backing.... vegetable/mineral dies vs synthetic... Virgin wool vs recycled... Artful flaws... What about antique silk rugs? Perhaps N... |
