| The Emotiva Challenge Glow,Can you explain in technical terms how the Emotiva amps are poorly designed? Judging from your posts, it seems you have a Phd in Electrical Engineering. This is not my major, but I'm sure I can follow.Also, can you explain what constitute a g... | |
| The Emotiva Challenge Day Glow,Can you perhaps point out to a link of your reliable sources? Since you seem to follow Emotiva so closely and have done a lot of reading about Emotiva gear, I think we are all very curious about your irrefutable sources.Can you also tell ... | |
| Any thoughts on removing a preamp from your system For a while I had the Promitheus Audio Reference Dual Box C-Core TVC in my system driving the Spectron mono-blocks. This was a fantastic unit. Totally transparent and free of artifacts. I have also tried the Benchmark DAC1 and the DAC2 HGC feeding... | |
| Is the Hegel H-20 better than the Parasound A-21? You are not understanding what the manual is sayingOh, I do understand what the manual is saying. I raised a very valid point: is this amp stable below 4 ohms? You should know that 4ohms is not an absolute fixed value.they are saying that the amou... | |
| What is a very nice sounding tube preamp? The Joule Electra LA-150 SE and the LA-300 ME are both excellent. I recommend trying to get a used LA-150 SE, get new tubes and you'll be in audio nirvana. | |
| Is the Hegel H-20 better than the Parasound A-21? AudioZen, other than I could not get a very clear picture of where the instruments were placed in the soundstage (like I get in my system), I didn't detect any of the symptoms you described. I would say the sound had some warmth, although it was m... | |
| Thoughts from Joule preamp owners? Hi Dob,Can you elaborate more on the Platinum upgrade for the 300ME? Thanks! | |
| Pass pre + Spectron Musician III - will this work? I have tried the Spectron Musician III MK2 mono-blocks with a TVC unit and the Benchmark DAC1 Pre. None of these have the finesse that the Joule Electra 300 ME has, but the sound was still great. I never got a lean sound with any of these preamps.... | |
| Is the Hegel H-20 better than the Parasound A-21? I attended the 2013 NY Audio Show and I agree with Audiooracle's description of the Aragon 8008 sound. The room featuring this amp had lots of people visiting multiple times. That room, along with the Martin Logan/Krell room, had the best sound by... | |
| Hypex Ncore NC1200 Amps at NY Audio Show in April Those are good points, Noble100. I few days ago I was playing Janos Starker Bach Solo Cello Suits on vinyl. My wife walks into the room and we had this conversation:W: why are you playing this particular record?Me: because I wanted to know how it ... | |

| Hypex Ncore NC1200 Amps at NY Audio Show in April Hello Dob, Yes, I have the Spectron mono-blocks with the Bybee purifiers and the Joule Electra 300ME. That combo still puts a smile on my face every time I listen to music.I totally missed room 1019 because I wrote down the wrong # in my list of r... | |
| Can u make interconnect from speaker cables It is very rare, but I've seen some companies using a coaxial cable, which is suitable for interconnects because of its inherent shielding capabilities, for a speaker cable design. I have not seen anybody using larger gauge cables (usually used in... | |

| Hypex Ncore NC1200 Amps at NY Audio Show in April I would like to clarify that my posts were strictly based on what I heard at the show and that I am not in any way questioning or generalizing the performance of the NC1200-based amps. Based on your posts, I'm sure you're happy with how they sound... |
