| Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass) taww, I believe Pass uses MOSFETs in his output stages. The two most recent MOSFET amps I have owned were Lamm's M1.2 Reference monos and the BAT VK500. The Lamm amps were the best of those two but still sounded a bit soft/rounded in comparison ... | |
| Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass) Hello Peter, unfortunately I have never had a chance to hear your amplifiers - they look great. I am curious about your design of big stereo amps instead of monoblocks, and also about the "bridged" implementation of your stereo amps - are these t... | |

| Hypex N core module Sold Acoustic Imagery NC1200 to go back to the more natural sound of conventional Class A. | |
| My first post Welcome ponchit.I hope your time spent here is fun and rewarding for you. | |
| No preamp 'Balance' control? Many of us have a slight hearing loss in one ear.Anyone in that boat correlate the difference with the ear exposed to many years of road noise and wind, i.e., the LHS - or RHS for brits? I have suspected for some time this could be the reason for ... | |
| Duelund DCA16GA I just made two sets of 3.5M long balanced interconnects using the same construction method of a twisted pair of conductors encased in a noise-reduction braided tube as a spacer, then a tinned-copper braid shield connected at only the source end a... | |
| Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ? I mean, these guys are looking at making $8,000 for a couple of hours of their timeHardly. Consider the payroll spent on all the time required to order, stock, and display the gear, the time spent by salespersons standing around waiting for custom... | |
| Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ? The whole B&M buying experience is in rough shape after being assaulted - first by the big box stores and later by internet sales. As margins began to decline we started seeing lower paid, younger salespersons with less knowledge about the pr... | |
| Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ? Doesn't look too pretty, but who cares, right ?Another asked and answered thread.Are you asking to hear answers or answering to hear confirmation?To your first question, it falls somewhere between bad form and stealing, IMO.To your second question... | |
| Best option for Amp upgrade... Those who mentioned the resale value of an upgraded amp being less than a similarly priced new amp are correct. Therefore, you need to decide if you plan to keep and listen to the amp because you like how it sounds, or if you are more likely to g... | |
| Best option for Amp upgrade... With amplifiers, new is not always better, particularly when comparing to Class D. I would be curious about how many of the folks saying "sell" have owned McCormack gear, and particularly how many have owned his amplifiers with full SMc upgrades.... | |
| D'Agostino Progression monoblocks replacing my Theta Prometheus monoblocks Even if you thought Theta gear is "over-hyped," the Prometheus is unlike former Theta gear because of the use of Bruno Putzeys NC1200 amp modules. I was curious whether the linear power supply in the Theta version "cured" the problem I had with t... | |
| D'Agostino Progression monoblocks replacing my Theta Prometheus monoblocks I am curious what you like about the sound of the D'Agostino amps compared to your Ncore based Theta Prometheus amps? I sold NC1200 amps after owning them for over a year so I could go back to a pair of conventional SS Class A amps. My experienc... | |
| Thinking of replacing my Bat spaceheater with class D, real world thoughts please Since you asked, and you are apparently still interested in the topic, I suggest you read the following review of the Mola Mola Kaluga by Mono and Stereo.Their conclusion describes pretty much what I heard from the similar Ncore NC1200 amps by Aco... |
