Power Cables you like with Merrill Veritas Amps
Hi Al, which power cords have you applied this far to your Veritas monos, and with what comparative results?G. 
D-Sonic, Wyred4Sound or NewClear Monoblocks?
I would be inclined to giving the Newclear a try... It is not a a bare-bone implementation of ICEpower modules by any means. It does appear to have implemented Lundahl transformers in the input stages.... The function of input transformers is to m... 
Merrill amps at Audiophile Society meeting
Hi HifiAl, I sent you a PM. G. 
Merrill amps at Audiophile Society meeting
Hi Mark, Merrill Veritas are indeed very musical and impressive amps... Hope you have the opportunity of listening to a pair that has at least 1000 hours of music making on them! G. 
Different amps for summer and winter?
I also live in Austin (Hi SVAR!) ... I do remember when I had only the old high bias Rowland M7... So hot that my 2nd floor music loft was unusable from June through the end of September.In More recent times, during Summer I have been using mostly... 
Hypex Ncore NC1200 Amps at NY Audio Show in April
Good points ESanchez... I tend to think of class D power conversion modules as basic electronic parts, around which a designer implements a particular circuit design, exactly like a KT88 or 6550 tube. Such a design can be quite minimalist, in whic...

Dob, stridency is not helpful. G. 
Hypex Ncore NC1200 Amps at NY Audio Show in April
This is fascinating info Kana.... Could you post the url of the McGowan citation?McGowan confirms my own conjecture that, while Ncore constitutes in itself an excellent premise for implementing a high quality power amplifier, designers need not li...

Jdec, sorry Mr. Grzybek passed away. The email I received was from his own personal ID.... Probably handled by a service machine, or perhaps his estate.G. 
Hypex Ncore NC1200 Amps at NY Audio Show in April
Hi Dob, you stated that in room 1019 Tube Audio Design featured their new Ncore NC1200 monoblocks, which you heard on Sunday. Are you sure about the name of the company? The web site listed for Tube Audio Design on the Audiogon Industry directory ... 
Jeff Rowland Criterion vs Soulution 720
Hi MelbGuy, when you get M825, please do share your experience with us... Be prepared for a long break in time... According to JRDG, M925 and M825 use very large input transformers, which may take a long time to achieve peak performance.Guido 
Jeff Rowland Criterion vs Soulution 720
Hi Melbguy, I can only make some conjectures, based on what I know about M925 and M825, which is not yet a great deal....M825 outputs 440W instead of the 440W of the M925.... Furthermore, the external 2400W power supply of M825 serves two channels... 
Jeff Rowland 2 or Classe 25 for Avalon Eclipse
Hi Rrog, indeed I have been more than delighted with the progressive sonic/musical advances of each Rowland amp I have owned this far... I only hope that the M925 -- which I should receive before long -- maintains the happy trend. 
Jeff Rowland 2 or Classe 25 for Avalon Eclipse
Hi Rrog, my system currently consists of Esoteric X-01, Rowland Criterion, Rowland M725, and Vienna Acoustics Die Muzik.... Guido 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Oddly enough Geoff, no.... I have not noticed any obvious band-pass filter limitations on most of my very standard CD pressings, nor an overall lack of dynamics in the music. Invariably, occasional slight treble distortions appear to be originatin...
