| Orchard Audio - GaN Stereo Ultra Amp Tour and Reviews @orchardaudio I hope you are well. I would very much like to be part of this. Is the amp a BTL design ?, as these cannot run my Rels at high level, as this is my ( and Rels ) preference of connection. TY, MrD ( Dan ). | |
| Experience with applying Kilmat to Cornwall IV Horns? Never in my life have I, or my clients, not heard improvements by properly damping horns. | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? Ralph, your master tapes have the properties of high rez. I plug instruments and mics ( mixer / pre / amp ) using a pair of Lascalas, and these sources have greater dynamic range than all my recordings. I do not restrict myself listening to only t... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? @tannoy56 Music listening, imo, is a very " personal subject ", and yes, experience might play a part in putting a successful system together. What have I learned over the years ?.....We are all seeking " our own " musical truth, which is easily s... | |
| Dust Settled Consensus- is the Benchmark AHB2 an Audiophile Amplifier? Some people have lost sight as to " what is it to be an audiophile " ? Anyone spending any amount of money to achieve greater detail retrieval from our recordings, ime, makes one an audiophile. Now, there are levels that people take, and it mostly... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? I prefer the term " fan boys ", vs cult members, and you all know who you are. Just admit to it, and move on. I will not respond to anyone beyond this point. Enjoy ! Always, and my best to all. MrD. | |
| My Medium List of Amplifiers and my Personal Review of Each ! @willgolf ....That " other " amplifier thread you spoke about is gone. I have my thoughts as to why he ended it..............nice to see " affordable " amps being spoken about....My best ! MrD. | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? We are all basing our opinions and experiences using " reproduced / recorded " music. As I have said many times, this alone, creates many challenges for us as listeners. It boils down to the specifics of what YOU want your favorite performers to s... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? Getting back to amplifiers. For 50 years I have changed power cords on products to heavier gauge, and in one or two instances, converted to iec inlet ( not an easy thing to do with metal work ). Anyway, huge improvements every time. I am also very... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? @unreceivedogma , I am not sure if you understand where I am coming from. On a post of mine on another thread, it was brought to my attention by another poster ( a great individual, imo ), stating that he read a statement from a poster on WBF ( a ... | |
| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? @jumia McIntosh preamps include line stages. I am sorry but, I do not get the question ? 😕 | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? @rbach , actually, you are clueless as to anything I spoke about. So, enjoy ! Always, MrD. | |
| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? Every amp I own, and have owned, is / has been rated to reach full power with less than 2 volts at the input. If you have a good 2 volts to work with, impedances are well matched, and the system caters to your desired volume level ( s ), when does... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? The spending of big bucks is fine for those that can afford it. At one time, I sure did. But the unfortunate reality is, people are listening to equipment that can never achieve " live, unamplified " sound, of the musicians playing. And if you thi... | |
| Best Examples Of Cymbal Decays On A Recording Unfortunately (and the drummers should know this best ), recordings cannot capture / retain the sound of real drums, cymbals, high hats, etc. Recordings ( and the playback system ) fall short of reality. My modified and tweaked Lascalas are enjoya... |
