| Mola-Mola Kaluga Ncore-based Monos: An impression Good point Bob... Are you talking about the Ncore NC1200 engineering demonstrator amp that Hypex circulates among interested OEMs?Apologies for appearing dense... I am blind and my JAWS screen reader cannot decypher photos.Guido | |
| Mola-Mola Kaluga Ncore-based Monos: An impression Hi Bob, I am not terribly surprised about the sonic enhancements that you experienced with the implementation of heavier chassis for your amps... Case in point... The half width Mola-Mola chassis weigh a bit over 20 Lbs each... They are not made f... | |
| Mola-Mola Kaluga Ncore-based Monos: An impression VicDamone, the SMPS1200 and its 400 counterpart use machine-controlled surface mounts to minimize circuit path lengthand optimize QC. I am not sure if Kaluga utilizes the basic SMPS1200 like Veritas, or a more sophisticated SMPS1200 derived implem... | |
| Mola-Mola Kaluga Ncore-based Monos: An impression Al, you are absolutely correct... The underlying module is but one component out of a myriad of factors that affect the final sound... Otherwise, by extension, just about every KT-88 amp would sound the same, wouldn't it *grins!*At RMAF, room 537 ... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Hi Harv, indeed catching up with you in front of the VAC room at RMAF was wonderful.... This year I was specifically scoping reference-grade wire products... Heard 3 stunning looms by as many noteworthy brands... Sadly, HiDiamond was MIA... Mayhap... | |
| Mola-Mola Kaluga Ncore-based Monos: An impression Hi Vicdamone, thank you for joining... 'Twas getting lonely 'round here *grins!*Your mention of the NC400 in your homegrown monos reminds me that I should ask Mr. Putzeys about circuit differences between the DIY and OEM version of the Ncore modul... | |
| Switch from Parasound JC-1 to Bel Canto Ref 1000? Hi Glory, Sorry can't do... My REF1000 Mk.2s were review samples and returned to the factory. G. | |
| Switch from Parasound JC-1 to Bel Canto Ref 1000? Bel Canto Ref1000Ms are based on the ICEpower 1000ASP module. The Mk.2 version features an enhanced pre-power supply rectification stage that I described in the technical section of my PFO review at:http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue43/bel_can... | |
| Switch from Parasound JC-1 to Bel Canto Ref 1000? Glory, even in Summer time Bel Canto REF500M will run barely warm to the touch... But why not get the REF1000M Mk.2 instead? I found the latter to be a sweeter-sounding amp by a fair stretch. G. | |
| Replace Silver interconnect cable , please advice It strikes me that your Cardas Clear wires are brand new... Put about 500 hours of a signal going through them... A break-in CD track or simple FM radio interstation hash will do just fine... And then reevaluate the sound... New wires can yield al... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Hey Harv, what system changes are causing you to relinquish your XLR ICs? G. | |
| Hydra 8 versus Trition Hi Mike, I am not surprised... Just in case you wanted more opinions, Triton is getting raving informal findings by users of extreme systems... See a variety of Triton-related threads at:http://www.whatsbestforum.com/forumdisplay.php?335-Shunyata-... | |
| Hydra 8 versus Trition Hi Mike, over the last few years, I have experienced the Shunyata V-Ray2, Triton, and a couple of other conditioners from other companies... I found Triton to be an amazing device I much prefered it over any other conditioner I tried, including th... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Sorry, Jorge, I have not quite understood which D-Sonic amp you have purchased... Please let us know. G. | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Luigy, I venture to conjecture that perhaps 2-way D-Sonics amps might be optimized for music... Let us know what you find out. G. |
