| Class D Ncore Atsah in the house @roxy54 I think maybe the top Jeff Rowlands might be an exception from things I've read.Guido thinks so, as do some others. I haven't heard them but would like to understand what Rowland did to mitigate the sort of unnatural staging/decay/ambie... | |
| Class D Ncore Atsah in the house @tweak1 "I find the newer kit very listenable, while providing considerably more bang for the buck."No argument with that statement, particularly about "bang for the buck," but that was always the strength of Class D. There is a pair of Atsahs on... | |
| Class D Ncore Atsah in the house In response to your question, IMO, the tech did not quite match the expectation and the "realistic portrayal of the music" is where they did not stand the test of time. I really wanted the Ncores to be my "last amps" since I enjoyed everything ab... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? Tortuga does offer a tubed buffer. I tried it on their "tour" and it sounded pretty good. My Goldpoint passive along with the Tortuga buffer did not quite equal my SMc Audio unity gain buffered preamp, but the SMc piece is much more expensive.From... | |
| Talk but not walk? @geoffkait "A rich audiophile has about as much chance of getting into audio nirvana as a 🐫 has of passing through the 👁 of a needle."Is audio nirvana a club? Is there a doorman? Do you have to bribe him with an mpingo disc or a shiny pebble or cr... | |
| Equipment rack with hollow tubes. In addition to damping ringing of the metal, it provides more mass, which many believe helps dampen vibrations and unwanted resonance. Sound Anchor uses sand to fill their very well-made steel stands.Star Sound sells Micro-Bearing Conductive Ste... | |
| Talk but not walk? @jf47t "MG and Geoff learn by actually doing," "MG and Geoff disagree on some of the absolutes but have found a way to allow isolation and mechanical transfer to live under the same roof," " Like with MG and Geoff we on this thread..."and furt... | |
| Talk but not walk? @theaudiotweak Geoff Your springs present no exit path for resonance to vacate the parts or the chassis..Ours do and furthermore they reject energy from below that attempts to re enter either by hard contact or by reflection onto the Audiopoint.I ... | |
| Talk but not walk? This is really interesting stuff...." two ears and one mouth for a reason" .....I am not quite there, is there a connection with eating more fish? If God wanted us to eat more fish, wouldn’t he have given us two mouths and one ear....or does he wa... | |
| Talk but not walk? @geoffkait In the case of some of the others here, I suspect they’re either disinterested, overly skeptical or don’t get good results with what little they do so they give up.Good point Geoff, I plant my flag firmly in the "disinterested" camp (al... | |
| Talk but not walk? @jf47t You seem to be trying too hard.I suggest taking it slowly, conducting a self-assessment, identifying the triggers for your sensitivity (i.e., somebody suggests MG is not walking or Robert's posts refuting MG's version of history), exploring... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Allman Brothers, "Into The Mystic" 12/3/2011 Orpheum Theater Boston, MA Derek Trucks on slide, Warren Haynes on lead and vocals, the incomparable Gregg Allman on B3, and a super band doing justice to an awesome song by Van Morrison | |
| Talk but not walk? @glupson Would you consider that "fully tuned"? | |

| Are there any really good cd cleaners out there? @jim204 rub in small circular motions I have mostly read CDs should be wiped from the center out and not with the direction they spin. I haven't read doing it with small circular motions. Does it really matter which direction you wipe them as lo... |
