| Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers Tim, well said. I would like to make a suggestion, if you are willing, that besides trying the Abletec get a set of Hypex NC400 and a set of Pascal modules. Then you can compare the best, though the NC400 is not on the same level of sonics as the ... | |
| Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers The great and powerful AudioOracle has spoken!! That's it, no more debate, the all knowing made his decree. He's back down from the mountain top. So AudioOracle, all of these Audiophiles that sold their Pass (including Class A), ARC(both tube and ... | |
| Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers Hi Paul and great post! Let me see if I can help a little more.1)("So, I bought a pair of AVM MA 3.2s monoblocks(NCore400?) from a dealer for 4K.") No way is that an NCore 400 (NC400). It might be another Hypex module like the UCD 400 but it can n... | |
| Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers "09-26-13: TeajayHello Ptheo,I hope two things for you very much, first you got a great price on these mono blocks because I believe they are hideously over priced and secondly that you like their sonic's a lot more then your very good Coda. The N... | |
| Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers Guido, how you doin? OK, to answer the OP. I am one of the first to own the Veritas. I also had a demo pair on and off in my system for four months. Am I still enjoying it? Hell yes! IMHO it is one of a handful of amps that are worth owning. I had... | |
| SR PowerCell 10 SE MK2 or Running Springs Jaco? Touchy, Glory. Oh, so a "DEALER" unloaded it and that confirms your opinion that it is junk. Never said it was the best, just that many like and praise it and it is worth the demo. Well if it "sucks" then a lot of recording studios wasted their mo... | |
| SR PowerCell 10 SE MK2 or Running Springs Jaco? Well, as someone who has had BOTH in my system I might as well give my 2-cents. Both are very good but I can easily say that the SR 10 SE MKII was better top to bottom. I was not the only one who heard the difference in my system. I had the Jaco a... | |
| DAC Recommendation around 2.5K "09-04-13: Mlapentathanks all keep it coming. i see the e20 uses a wall wart, does it require a outboard better power supply?" No, it does not require a better outboard PS. It sounds really good with the "wall wart". It was designed to sound reall... | |
| DAC Recommendation around 2.5K Do yourself a BIG favor and demo an e20 MKII by exaSound. They offer a 30 day home demo. But you will end up keeping it. It sounds GREAT with Redbook, HiRez PCM and DSD. If you can go a little higher in price get the MKIII and add the .082ps clock... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Audiozen, (and I use that pharse lightly), I quote you."12-19-12: AudiozenThe core problem with many Class D amps on the market such as Bel Canto, Nuforce, Red Dragon, Hypex, CIA, Wyred4Soundand other light weight, cool running switching designs i... | |
| PS Audio PWD MKII and PWT for $3995. Good deal? I meant to add.Go with a dedicated computer if you can. I use a Mac Mini with an i7 Quad Core chip, 16GB RAM, 128GB SSD just for the OS and server software, a Thunderbolt or Firewire external HD for the music files. Use the USB only for your DAC.R... | |
| PS Audio PWD MKII and PWT for $3995. Good deal? A couple of things. PS Audio is selling the pair for that price because it wants to clear out their CD players from their inventory and up the sales of their MKII DAC. Pure and simple. Most of their customers are not using a transport anymore. Now... | |
| Benchmark DAC2 or Mytek 192 DSD for DSD You should also consider the Hilo by Lynx and the e20 MkIII by exaSound. And if your budget can go higher the soon to be Platinum by Antelope. | |
| PS audio Perfect Wave DAC MKII or Metrum Octave Well yes and no. what I meant was the computer is doing all the data/computational processing of up/over-sampling (and any filtering, etc) and the DAC is not so it is not being asked to do more, it is doing less processing. So the DAC can use all ... | |
