Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270
David,The reason I asked about the feedback setting is that on my system, the normal setting seems to be a little too 'dry' or maybe 'analytical'. I end up running mine in the medium setting most of the time. On the other hand, the most noticeable... 
Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270
This is what we need to see. Rather than arguing about what to call a piece of equipment, compare them for sound. Great posting. However, you didn't mention whether you played around with the settings on the Berning. In my system, switching the Be... 
Personal amp evolution

Why no threads on OTL amps?
I don't know whether I should post this or not, but here goes....I read some comments by David Berning himself once about whether his amp is an OTL. I know, I should have the web address for this, but I can't find it right now. I will look for it.... 
Why no threads on OTL amps?
Bill E., I made the same point in my post preceding yours, but since people obviously do care about whether an amp is an OTL or not, let me propose a theory (I should say that I'm an experimental psychologist by training, so explaining why people ... 
Why no threads on OTL amps?
I say to-MAY-to, you say to-MAH-to. Every time there's a discussion of OTL amps and the Berning comes up, the thread eventually evolves into a debate (to put it politely) over whether the Berning is 'really' an OTL. Who cares? Obviously, some peop... 
Ultralinear vs. Triode
Hi killerpiglet, I posted this on AA too, but since you're here as well.... I think the key thing is the type of music you listen to and what you want to get out of it. I have a Mesa Baron (although I'm not using it now). It can switch from full t... 
Why no threads on OTL amps?
I took my ZH270 to my local high end dealers' for him to listen to. It was sitting on a rack, and a customer came in and saw it and asked the dealer how he could cook anything in such a small microwave! Later, a little kid came in with his parents... 
Transcendent Sound Grounded Grid PreAmp heard it?
I own a grounded grid. At the moment, I'm going direct from CD to amp, so I'm not using it. I can repeat what I've said on other forums--it clearly outperformed my ARC LS15, which cost 3 times as much used. It is DEAD quiet (especially when not in... 
amp help - joule - transcendent - berning - atma
Hi Tubegroover,Which Vandersteens did you have? How did they compare to the Milleniums? I have a pair of Milleniums at my local dealers on consignment, but they have the 'S' harness, so we really haven't experimented too much with A-B'ing them wit... 
amp help - joule - transcendent - berning - atma
I also have Merlin Milleniums with battery bam. They're currently powered by a Berning 270. It's clearly superior to my other amp (Mesa Baron) in some ways--detail and resolution, better bass contol, for example. On the other hand, I had it at my ...
