| Burmester 218..... Canada is a lovely country though. Especially Québec. VIVE LE QUÉBEC LIBRE !!! Yes it is, and now that the Canadian dealers have heard the Burmester, I am sure that they will start dropping the SIMs to make more room to carry the superior Burme... | |
| Burmester 218..... well I've looked at all the dealers that sell Burmester in Canada and not one of them sells Simaudio, so how are you able to compare the 861 at every dealer in Canada please give me a break You're pretty stupid to think that I would believe that.... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode A single-ended amp like the 805 or his Inspires, sure, I can see no global feedback. But a 100wpc push-pull ultralinear amp without feedback seems like a stretch, in terms of achieving good bandwidth and a decent damping factor. But anything's ... | |
| Burmester 218..... @zuesman , I just now returned from the airport after several days of touring Canada and going from dealer to dealer comparing Burmester amps to all the Sim 861s I could find and I must say that the Burmesters were the clear winner. | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode @brianlucey , what sonic changes did you note when in 1/3 triode 2//3 UL and in vice versa? | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode @dogearedaudio , coming back to the feedback, and again not arguing with you, but almost at the bottom of page 4, the page I believe should be just before the un-numbered specifications page, there is a header "OVERVIEW AND CLOSING THOUGHTS" and u... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode Apologies if this came up earlier in the discussion...Do you guys re-bias and adjust for volume difference when you change between UL and triode? UL plays notably louder at the same volume setting than triode on my amps, and I’m assuming others t... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode "Zero" feedback? Really? I’ve looked at the CAD-280SA V12 manual online and it doesn’t mention feedback, but perhaps that's a different model. Hard to imagine they use NO feedback. @dogearedaudio , there should be a page labeled "SPECIFICATIONS... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode @dogearedaudio , I just took a look at the specs listed in the V12 owner’s manual and under feedback it says "zero." I do remember on another "switchable" amp I referred to, the Mesa Baron, on the back panel there were knobs to adjust feedback. I... | |
| Burmester 218..... I am stuck at 70,000 for an amp. You can buy an apartment for that. LOL at @grislybutter . . . that's more than my house listed for way back when! | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV or Revel f226be Hmmm, @james633 , I guess that could be part of the reason that I am finding the 126s more interesting with my amp switched to the ultralinear mode (versus triode). And what you typed just makes me wish even more that the 226s would have been mar... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode Yes, @viridian , that was the Andy I was referring to. I enjoyed talking to him. Somehow he got on the subject of amps and the people who designed those amps that he didn’t care for. I won’t mention the names, but as we were talking about the amp,... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode Circuit topology of appliances sexy? Someone needs to go on a date....with a human. @viridian , going on about 25 years ago I was buying some 12AU7s and 6922s for a preamp and amp I had, from Andy from Michigan. I probably made two or three pho... | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV or Revel f226be @james633 , not that it’s applicable to this discussion, but from comparing the specs, I was thinking that MAYBE the Revel 126 is a 226 with only one low range bass driver (instead of two as in the 226) and no 51/4 " midrange driver like the 226 h... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode Thank you, @mulveling ! I have printed that as well. You asked for a diagram, @emergingsoul , it appears as if your wish has been granted a couple of times over. |
