| Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier? Thanks Cathode for being a member of the "non-negative" group. Unfortunately, there are always members who are obligated, predisposed by personality to inject their conflict driven thoughts in conversations where conflict wasn't sought. They enjoy... | |
| Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier? Ah, luring the arrogant, denigrative tendencies out of those who simply can't resist the temptation/obligation to grace these pages with thier personality dysfunctions, the holier than thou, "higher end than thou" is a pleasure. Gotcha!:) They can... | |
| Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier? 2 old "low end hifi" SS amps chugging along: 1. a Hitachi receiver SR 2000, circa 1981, 70 W per channel continuous, inherited from my now deceased mother-in-law, has operated without a problem. I use it in my home office. It is on now playing blu... | |
| Vincent audio hybrid amps Thanks Tpreaves. I read the AS review. On balance the review seemed pretty objective. I would have liked a bit more in depth, but it is a decent place to start. I am going to see if Peter Aczel has reviewed Vincent products in particular hybrid amps. | |
| How Do You Pronounce Thiel? This is not post worthy. This person needs to go elsewhere and waste time. | |
| Classe move to China He does indeed protesteth too much..:) I like the new look of Audiogon's front page. It bears not even a tangential relation to the subject of China. But then again, just who designed the new look anyway! Foreign or domestic? heh heh. | |
| Classe move to China Thier decision is still about retaining/growing profit margin. No one's going to start and continue a business without wanting a "reasonable" if not "healthy" profit. One does not operate a business just to cover expenses. Profits fulfill many imp... | |
| Classe move to China You got a point Pubul57. I know there are tech manufacturers in China who can produce high quality electronic components. Out of country companies need frequent contact with them to insure standards are maintained. | |
| Classe move to China Obviously done for the purpose of increasing the profit margin. I am guessing these economic times have reduced sales of many high end audio products. Classe will signficantly reduce manufacturing cost even though labor costs in China have been in... | |
| How good is Emotiva 2 channel gear?? Well said Kbarkamian! | |
| Mosfet mist? Thanks Atmasphere. I learned something today. Pls excuse my uninformed sarcasm. I was caught up in a mirthful moment. I will have to scrutinize my 1995 Halfer 9180 for this phenomenon. It uses lateral MOSFETS. I do LOVE the sound, never tiring. | |
| Mosfet mist? Sounds like the name for a pop wine beverage. It's mythological. I used to own a bipolar amp from Bryston and have been running a JEFT/MOSFET amp from Hafler for no less than 16 years. No "mist" has been detected, but if I ever got back into readi... | |
| Amp more important than speakers? Stickman451 says it all. | |
| How good is Emotiva 2 channel gear?? I did get a response from an Emotiva tech re: the XPA 2 circuit design. He was quite forthcoming. Some sales pitch language was included of course. Can't fault him for that. I am savvy. Since decided not to pursue Emotiva. For what it costs it is ... | |
| Why does Cary Audio keep discontinuing good amps? I agree with Minorl. "New and Improved" has worked for numerous product lines from all manner of companies for decades. It is a way of manipulating consumer perception into believing you can NOW have the next best thing from company X, AND the imp... |
