| The best "imaging" speakers? I second the Apogee Scintilla. It's carioid delivery ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardioid ) floats the image in the air much like a holograph does the same for images. Driven well, it can perform enormous dynamic swings. It's real full range ca... | |
| Ice Block Amps I listened to a Sony 999 fully modified by Modright including the addition of tubes. My Audio Note DAC creamed that CD player so bad, the owner went out and bought an expensive AMR CD 77. | |
| Ice Block Amps I have found my Audionote DAC tubes make it through to my speakers untouched. I am using the Fire preamp. It is a class A SS preamp, but you wouldn't know it is even there. My system requires the added boost from the Fire preamp. Running a class D... | |
| Ice Block Amps I looked up your B&O amp, and was pleased they chose the analog power supply option module. I am happy you love it, and am not surprised in the slightest. You will love it even more after a couple hundred hours. | |
| How do Digital Amps Mfrs. compare in sound? Guidocorona, size does count here. I will do my best in getting a Bel Canto 1000 here to put up against what I have. I will make sure there are witnesses. Wish you could be here. | |
| How do Digital Amps Mfrs. compare in sound? ASP modules all have a built in miniature power supply that draws it's energy straight from the wall. That raises all kinds of distortion and phase anomalies that require back up fixes. Rowland has devised ways of addressing the problem. Good for ... | |
| How do Digital Amps Mfrs. compare in sound? Guidocorona, I was referring to the attached digital power supply, as stated. The module is analog, as stated. | |
| How do Digital Amps Mfrs. compare in sound? Nospam is right in my opinion. ASP modules cannot compete with a very good analog power supply. What is the advantage of introducing a digital power supply into an analog amp? The answer is, to lessen the cost of production by the amp builder. The... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? A wise comment, Mapman. | |
| Pass X-350 with Acoustat 2 + 2 Hi Brian, I ran the X 150 and X 600 on Duetta Signatures for some time. I don't think they are worth the price. There are others that have both speakers, but I don't know what amps they are using. The 350 does run at class A for the first 100 watt... | |
| How do Digital Amps Mfrs. compare in sound? I have found through experimenting with just one amp, the H20, that it can sound like anything from bad to terrific. They take on the personality of the preamp, wires, speakers and source. I solved the preamp problem when I purchased the H2O's sta... | |
| Cable Confusion I left Kimber Kable years ago. Anti-Cable was a big jump up from that. Ribbon SCs like Mapleshade uses were the all out winners. | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Hey guidocorona My H2O/Fire/AN system has all the qualities you enumerated. A comparison would be most interesting. It is in the application that the greatest victories can be garnished from great class D amps. Turning the monos around backwards a... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Curriemt11, you have a wonderful system. I love the artful symmetry. My apology. The only reason I jumped in with my speakers is because you thought the low impedance of your Soundlabs may be a problem. My answer is no, the load is not the problem... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Curriem11, I beg to differ. My speakers are the infamous 1 ohm Scintilla. It matters not how loud I listen to them. Right now they are working in the 70 to 80 decibel range. No one else is in the house.Ait has demonstrated just how temperamental c... |
