Class D amps?
Not an issue. They play nice with all types. Watts are just one aspect and not the end all. There is a misconception that you can have too much watts. The overall measurements on the Veritas NC1200 is about (some are the best) the best you can get... 
bryston 28b sst2 or levinson 532H
As a B&W 802D (long known as power hungry) owner who has searched high and low for amps that could make them sing I will tell you it is not just the watts that matter. I owned and demoed many amps with the B&W 802D including the Bryston 14... 
Class D amps?
Seadogs1You truly MUST HEAR the Veritas monos by Merrill Audio. They do NOT need any tubes to sound amazing. They do NOT need a linear power supply to sound amazing. I know of several, nameless, long time Audiophiles/Industry people who have heard... 
Class D amps?
Best class D or otherwise that I have heard are the Veritas mono blocks by MerrillAudio.net based on the new Hypex Ncore NC1200 technology. I believe they offer a home trial and at one time they were offering a limited time pricing, not sure they ... 
Please, recommend me
Yes, but unlike any previous. They are based on the new Hypex NCore NC1200 tech. I can not name names but there are long time "I have heard Class D, they all sound the same, I like tubes/Class A" audiophiles and industry types that have heard the ... 
Please, recommend me
I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND and URGE you to demo the Veritas mono blocks by MerrillAudio.net. They are GREAT (the best I have heard for the price)sounding amps that beat out other well known amps costing far more. They were offering for a limited tim... 
Is Hype About Forthcoming NC400 Based Amps Worthy
Well Nick do not misunderstand me. All I meant as regard to the cases are that they most likely will benefit from vibration control. This comes from trail during listening impressions with the NC400. Again the improvement was heard by group of aud... 
Is Hype About Forthcoming NC400 Based Amps Worthy
Ben, first there two versions, one is a DIY and the other is OEM. The NC400 is "ONLY DIY" and can not be built and sold by ANY OEM. The NC1200 is the one and "ONLY OEM" and is only sold by OEM manufactures. I have heard both and can say that the D... 
Amplification to B&W 800 Diamond
Hi, Skrymar. I own B&W 802D and have been a long time fan of B&W speakers. After many tries and demoing many others with the B&W 802D, including some of the ones you have mentioned I have finally found amps that make my B&W 802D SI... 
Hypex Ncore NC400
Well, a big congratulation to Nsirkin! I was lucky enough to know Merrill from one of the local Audio Clubs we both belong too and had the opportunity to assist Merrill in listening tests of his prototypes. Besides myself there were a few other Au... 
Stillpoint Ultras anyone?
Jpan, have thought about trying a set of the strange attractors on your speakers in place of the stillpoint ss ultra? It is my understanding that spiral groove makes ones for speakers that will take the speakers to another level. I am trying get m... 
Class D amps
Vhiner, I know of someone that is building NC 1200 mono blocks and his price will be very reasonable for the initial run. It would be more then an NC 400 but not by a lot. If you are interested let me know and we will work out contact info. 
Class D amps
Fiddler, I had a chance to hear the Ncore in my system and I use the PS Audio setup like you. I agree with you on how well they sound. I have a friend who is looking to build a pair of Ncore and he was considering using the Cardas Patented binding... 
Synergitsic Research Elements or Shunyata Ztron?
Hi Antonkk. While i have not A/B them I have owned products from both manufactures. I have had a Hydra 8 and Anaconda power cords in my system and I would say the Anaconda was impressive. While I liked the Hydra I can not say it was as big an impr... 
JPS Aluminata or Synergistic Research's Tesla Prec
Marri, the Galileo Cells are sold as pairs. For speakers you will need just one but for sources you will need one from source to preamp and one from preamp to amp. My source is my dac and it has a volume control so I only needed a preamp to amp. A...
