Listening Sessions Sanders ESL, VERITAS Monoblocks
What is the complete system configuration? How many hours of break-in time do the Veritas have on them? G. 
Experiencing Rowland M925 4-chassis reference amps
Time for a few updates… First of all, I have been asked about the audible difference between the M725 330W monoblocks that have been my reference amp for one year, and my new M925… As much as I love M725, M925 are already generating sound that is ... 
NCore vs. Ice -- single or separate cases
Tony, if you decide to use one single power supply, you better check with Hypex before you do.... Last thing you want to do is to damage both modules in one fell swoop.... Mr. Putzeys designed the power supplies to serve one module each. G. 
NCore vs. Ice -- single or separate cases
Tony, my own direct experience is with Ncore NC1200-based amps.... They are musical instruments... rather than "not bad for a class D".By the way, my very first high-end amp was an Aragon 4004 during 1984 or so... Unless one thrives with nostalgia... 
NCore vs. Ice -- single or separate cases
I can only echo what Wilsynet has said.... A statement in the general form "Ncore is very good for a class D amp" represents a total misrepresentation of Ncore performance.... Ncore tecnology delivers great music in the absolute, to any lover of g...

Tony, what is your target budget? Guido 
NCore vs. Ice -- single or separate cases
Tony, ICEpower modules are by now legacy parts that some very experienced amp designers are still able to use, together with a great deal of creative ingenuity, to implement amplifiers that make actual music... By themselves, ICEpower modules insi... 
what is the theory behind maple stands and racks?
Thank you Photonman.... Keep us posted with your results once you install the new platforms! Guido 
what is the theory behind maple stands and racks?
Hi Photonman.... Could you give us more info about the particular Terrastone platforms you have ordered.... Size and price.... What is your hypothesis about sonic advantages over 4 inch maple? And of course, let us know actual results once you ins... 
Moving up from Cardas Clear
Camb, you might want to look at the intriguing Hidiamond wires... A full spectrum provider of wire products that has been receiving very positive reactions on Audiogon... Essentially without negative comments. See for example the entire thread sta... 
Moving up from Cardas Clear
If you enjoy the general sound of the Cardas Clear suite, any reason why you are not considering the Cardas Clear Beyond wires? G. 
Jeff Rowland Capri S2
Hi LongZ, Continuum S2 may have just been released, or will be released in the next couple of weeks.... So it might be difficult to get some user reports for the next little while. But the integrated should be pretty interesting... It will include... 
Experiencing Rowland M925 4-chassis reference amps
A non-musical tidbit....* Unlike M725 and M625, which have a mild propensity to emitting audible rasberries -- of a very high-end cultivar of course -- through the speakers, whenever power is cycled on/off, M925 are extremely quiet. When the front... 
Elrod statement vs Shunyata anaconda zitrons
Hi PTSS, I have listened to a variety of MIT cables at shows at dealers over the years. Unfortunately, none of the contexts made me feel that I wanted to evaluate an MIT wire in my own system. G. 
what is the theory behind maple stands and racks?
Hi Photonman, what is the source size, and pricing of the 4" maple platforms? Those things tend to be ghastly expensive as well.Post the URL if you can.Saluti, Guido
