| Merrill Audio VERITAS Amps: Any other experiances? My friend asked me if I could bring my pair of Veritas amps over to his house so he could listen to them again. He really likes them but wanted to have a friend of his who is an award winning recording engineer hear them in his system against his ... | |

| PS audio Perfect Wave DAC MKII or Metrum Octave Well all the "data" is processed in the computer. You are actual sending less not more. And most computers today (64 bit, quad-core, 16gb ram) can easily handle all of it plus more at the same time vs the most modern DAC chips. Plus the computer a... | |
| PS audio Perfect Wave DAC MKII or Metrum Octave I would highly recommend the following, in no particular order; The Lynx Hilo, exaSound e20 MKIII and the Antelope Platinum. The first two I have heard and cost around $2,500-$2,900. The Antelope retails for around $4,800.The exaSound is a great c... | |
| Hypex NCore 1200 Primare, I have heard the MC501, the XA160.5 and the 1.2. I had high hopes for the MC501 but it is a little too dark/syrup for me. I like a more transparent and resolving sounding amp. It is a nice sounding amp just not my cup of tea. The XA160.5 ... | |

| HiDiamond Speaker Cables Ozzy, as far as jumpers vs two pairs, based on my experience ( and others that I know of) with both, two pair of speaker cables will give you better performance but at a higher price.Others who have tried both feel that it is better to use two pai... | |
| NCore vs. Ice -- single or separate cases Nsirkin, this is for pretty much all amps, etc.You want the caps (etc) to fully discharge and then fully recharge on a regular basses so they stay optimal. It will provide the best long term performance for all your equipment and the best possible... | |
| NCore vs. Ice -- single or separate cases Tony, if you do a great build of the NC400 you will be extremely happy with the sound you will get from NC400 for the money. Good luckPS Make sure you allow some time for break in. Also keep them on all the time except every three to four weeks tu... | |
| Listening Sessions Sanders ESL, VERITAS Monoblocks Guido, I am so disappointed that you will not be able to make it.But on a serious note, what differences do you hear when there is around a thousand hours on the Veritas? Best, Al. | |
| HiDiamond Speaker Cables Ozzy, 4 METERS! OUCH!! I would say two separate runs even more so now over jumpers. But wait, are you bi-wiring or bi-amping?My recommendation for two pairs is for bi-amping. As some amps have two sets of outputs vs four mono blocks. Good luck | |
| HiDiamond Speaker Cables Ozzy, I must say if you do not have the HiDiamond Speaker Cables in your system then you do not know how much better your system will sound. As I have said before, out of all the HiDiamond Cable I have had in my system the only type that really ma... | |
