Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers
Teajay, there are at least two extreme ways on how to look at the value of a piece of audio electronics.... From a purely functionalistic point of view, the value is purely based on how the device performs when compared to devices of comparable/lo... 
Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers
Hi Theo, the Merrill Veritas is a very fine sounding amplifier. You will find my discussion of its internals, break-in process, and performance relative to my own system in my article for PFO:http://positive-feedback.com/Issue68/merrill_audio.htmS... 
D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ?
I checked with US distributors about RMAF presence of Mola-Mola and Marten...Mola-Mola Kaluga will be shown by On A Higher Note in Long's Peak on the mezanine level.Sound Advice will not participate, and the Marten M amp is likely to be absent fro...

Audiozen, as we live in a world of audiophilic uncertainty, where the relationship between performance and pricepoint is not always clear, I tend to shy away from aprioristic "more than likely" based on specs alone.If Mola-Mola Kaluga and Martin m... 
D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ?
Audiozen, if I ever worked on an article project on Mola-Mola Kaluga, or an article project on the Martin amp, I would examine each device on its own merits. There will be no trouncing of any kind, one way or another.It is worth pointing out that ...

Thank you Strateahed, my current reference amp is the rowland M925 monoblock, which was not factored in the Veritas article. Conversely, In the Veritas review, I make minor mention of the M312 stereo, which was my reference in some past.G. 
Merrill Audio VERITAS Amps: Any other experiances?
Thank you Tim, you probably meant the Rowland M925 monoblock amp, which is my new reference amplifier... I have not written much at all about the M825 stereo yet... As I do not have that device in my system at this time, and will not be hearing it...

All, in case anyone were interested, here is the press release announcing Abletec's sale of its audio business to Etal Group. Please note that the url is slightly misleading... The title/H1 of the actual page is:Abletec - Sale of Abletec Audio Bus... 
Merrill Audio VERITAS Amps: Any other experiances?
Thank you Tim, if I have the opportunity of reviewing more amps, I will probably use a similar format... With the listening finding outlining the break-in progress until the device appears to have stabilized... I am concerned that more often than ... 
Classdaudio vs Channel Islands amps
Audiozen, you may be misunderstanding what I said...* With "Entry level" I refered to the pretty box that you order from the integrator, not the underlying power conversion module inside it... Yes, until now, D-Sonic consumer offerings have been e...

Audiozen, please consider watching your language... Whether or not my cerebrum -- or anyone else's cerebrum -- is operational or not, is a matter not material to the topic of this thread.Back to our regularly scheduled programming... The problem i... 
Classdaudio vs Channel Islands amps
All, a sourcing clarification is in order... I just spoke to Dennis at D-Sonic:* D-Sonic power amplifiers are manufactured/assembled near Houston (TX), USA.* Some of the power conversion modules (or amplification modules) employed in D-Sonic amps ...

Classdaudio vs Channel Islands amps
Hi Izora, have you confirmed with the manufacturer that D-Sonic amps are assembled in China? Even if they were, the underlying Pascal or AbleTech power conversion modules come from Northern European companies.There are a number of manufacturers of...

Hi McBuddah, your experience is fascinating...It is particularly interesting that proper seating / mechanical isolation make a significant difference for such low mass devices as the D-Sonics amps.... Nice data pointer for any future fiddlings on ...
