Merrill Audio VERITAS Amps: Any other experiances?
Jtwrace, my apologies for any unintended humor...Yes, I remember well what things sounded like in the past.However, to assist my memory which is still short of perfect, I track equipment breakin in spreadsheets, where I write listening notes which... 
D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ?
Mapman, for all audible parameters, I comfortably prefer the performance of the simple implementation of Ncore NC1200 in Veritas monoblocks over the old/discontinued Rowland M312 based on a relative complex implementation of ICEpower 1000ASP. In t... 
D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ?

Bandwidth Limitations Of Class D Amps??

Esoteric K01: What are the best settings for CD?
Audiolabyrynth, on my system, consisting at the time of Rowland Criterion linestage, Rowland M725 monos, Vienna Die Muzik speakers, and a loom of top flight Aural Symphonics wires, I perceived K-01 staging as follows:Slow Delay 2 with 4X upsamplin... 
Bel Canto Ref1000 MK2 Or Ref 500m ?
Glory, I looked back at my REF500M review on PFO:http://positive-feedback.com/Issue50/bel_canto500.htmI quoted peak current for REF500 at 30 Amperes. This value may not be correct. The BelCanto page for the amp asserts peak current to be 35 ampere...
