| W4S Mamp or Bel Canton REF500 m ? Does the Mamp line do anything special with the power supply? That used to be the thing that distinguished the BC Ref500m and ref1000m from similar Wyred offerings.Other than that they both use similar Icepower amp boards and add their own input c... | |
| Best A'gon System Having never heard any but my own, it's hard to say other than I love a nice simple easy to maintain, well thought out system in a room with a view. I'll keep an eye open and report back. | |

| Is your tube amp really a tube amp? My car may perform excellently and me loving it under normal circumstances, but if I ask it to tow a 3 ton load it may not work out so well.Same thing with audio. You gotta have enough muscle to get the job done or nothing else matters much. That ... | |

| Electrostatic speakers and low volume resolution I find it funny how some will change any of their hardware at the blink of an eye the instant something does not sound exactly right but will never consider the simple things that might be done to correct common simple problems like that fact that... | |
| Electrostatic speakers and low volume resolution Realize also that dynamics and frequency response are related, not two completely independent aspects of sound, althoughthat is how we tend to think about it often. An issue with dynamics might still be solved by adjusting frequency response. An e... | |
| Electrostatic speakers and low volume resolution Not be heretic about it but our ears do not have flat frequency response to start with, hear differently at different volumes, and become less sensitive over time as noted.
