| We are normal unlike the rest eh??? ha ha I just finished watching the video. (sniff) I suddenly don't feel so....alone. KIDDING!It's well done and could be useful for non audio-nerds to get an idea about what drives folks like us. | |
| Class D amp driving Thiel The Sim Audio site lists the I-7 at 150 Watts, not 100, BTW. | |
| Ayre C 5xe Universal vs. Cary 306 SACD Joey_v, I am also interested in your decision. Please keep us posted. There is no replacement to hearing both units, side-by-side, in your own system. | |
| Cary SLP-98 vs Rogue 99.... and tube rolling? I owned the Cary SLP-98P for a couple of years a while ago. While I never did a direct comparison with the Rogue 99, I have heard from others who are familiar with both that the Cary 98 is quite a bit better.As for tubes, I am familiar with the Sy... | |
| Coincident with 8 ohm vs16 ohm Ben, Room dimensions and music material also play a big role in amp power demands with a given speaker. "Power music" (full orchestra, organ, and bass-heavy pop) played in a larger room will take quite a bit more power than chamber music, intimate... | |
| Shorting Balanced Input GamuT now supplies a really easy-to-use XLR-style shorting plug. They are easier to use than the U shaped plugs--no need to make sure you are connecting the right pins together; it's all taken care if inside this XLR-looking thing. Contact GamuT. ... | |
| Amps with low gain All GamuT amplifiers (except maybe the S300), as Ngjockey mentioned, are input- sensitive/gain adjustable not just by the dealer but the user can do it as well.I have changed the settings on GamuT a D200 stereo and M200 monos amps. Each model requ... | |
| What do you look for in damping factor? Guidocorona, you may be thinking of the INPUT impedance of the Rowland 312. Usually, power amps’ output impedances are very low, hopefully below that of the speakers--especially for SS amps. If the Rowland 312 is a Class D or switching amp--and I ... | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. Some folks maintain that super accurate speakers, used at the end of a fairly flawed system, would theoretically make the sound WORSE (than if just serviceable speakers had been used) because all the upstream flaws would be revealed that much more... | |

| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? Jprice, I am familiar with both the Veritys and the Avalons. I like them both a lot: clean, pure timbres, fabulous tonal balance. If the Rowland Concerto sounds similar to Gamut DI-150 AND your Spectral separates, that is a fabulous recommendation... | |
| SS amp mosfet 'haze' - ever experienced this? Sutts, Both the D200 and the M200's run cool, with the M200s running cooler still than the D200. The M200s are just barely warmer than the room itself. The two-only MOSFETs per channel are mounted on the side of the chassis, equal distant apart ... | |
| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? Jprice, what speakers are you using with the Rowland Concerto, please? | |
| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? Someone already mentioned the excellent GamuT DI-150---very nice and quite expensive.Another really good integrated is the Linar 10--and not nearly as expensive as the DI-150. It is a 5.1 channel integrated that can be switched into four channels ... | |
| SS amp mosfet 'haze' - ever experienced this? Sutts, you also asked about the Plinus SA102 MkII amp. Yes, I used the same speakers I have now: Super Eclipse MkIII's. I liked the amp; among the other SS amps I was trying out (Goldmund SRM 150's, and Goldmund Mimesis 28M in quick succession) th... |
