| Creek Destiny or Rogue Cronus Magnum? I think that Samlucas091 was saying that how good an amp will perform is system dependent, and especially viz-a-viz the speakers it will be driving. To compare such different amps independently of the speakers it will be asked to drive is almost i... | |
| Cardas Cold Forging What I don't get is why Cardas has not been doing this since day one with the ability to use this "old" technology and if soldering does indeed degrade the sound. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Which ones? I assume the RM10 and MMGs would not be a match made in heaven, though a pair of RM10s.... | |
| Cardas Cold Forging There lies the rub:) | |
| Merlin Master Bam Alert We look forward to your VVSM! | |
| Merlin Master Bam Alert And can it ever be as coherent as a two-way with bass augmentation to make up for the "missing" third driver? | |
| Pass X vs XA amps sound quality in class A range The X don't sound as good as XA.5s given that the XA.5 provides sufficient power, they are not both "similarly excellent". So, if 160 watts is enough power for your speakers, room, and loudness levels you listen at, I don't think there is much dou... | |
| Cardas Cold Forging I have a feeling I am going to have to try it, even though I do tend to be a bit skeptical, but trying will tell me - though I won't be in a position to A/B and there tends to be a tendency to think what you just paid for is an improvement:)Questi... | |
| Vintage Amps - Pleasantly surprised 03-19-11: Buconero117HiFiharv, I think your wrong, they have learned something in the past 50 years. What? How to take your money in the name of 'hi-end'So true, though you can still navigate your way to great sound with new gear without falling i... | |
| Merlin Master Bam Alert I agree, but I also think that owners of the original Vandersteen 3, or Atma-sphere M60, or Merlin VSM from years ago still have first-rate gear with no real need to upgrade, unless they have the desire to take the original up to the nth degree, b... | |
| Cardas Cold Forging I guess the idea is to eliminate a solder connection, but I would think there are hundred between source through the amp, including the ICs, got to wonder how it can make much difference, but....I called it cold forging, but it is really "Two Stag... | |
| Merlin Master Bam Alert Did you say SUB!:) | |
| Merlin Master Bam Alert Vandersteen and Atma-sphere also take a very similar approach to product development, their products are sorted out and refined from an original good idea that stands the test of time. And for the most part, users can move with the changes by upgr... | |
| Merlin Master Bam Alert It does not get me down one bit:) It simply questions the sanity and value of "the list". But if the Master VSM is coming soon! then all the better. | |
| Merlin Master Bam Alert Was listening to Gillian Welch tonight, and it dawned on me how damn good these speakers are, then I noticed that the VSMs were "removed" from the the Stereophile Recommend List, probably not listened to recently or some such idiocy or other nonse... |
