| SS amp mosfet 'haze' - ever experienced this? The original gamut mosfet amps were reported to be completely transparent. Designers choice in voicing- not the Mosfet that is misty. Again, old mosfets yes. New mosfets no haze/mist. | |
| SS amp mosfet 'haze' - ever experienced this? Yes, but in older Mosfet based designs. Not really the case today. Perhaps you are just too used to the clean house sound of Sim. | |
| Snell B-Minors: What works best? I have a pair of Snell C/V driven by a Classe 15. Bass is punchy and tight. | |
| Audio Research 150.2 Tri-Path amp opinions? Decenting opinions always should be viewed quite seriously. I had that amp purchased new. My opinion is that it is a highly euphonic sounding -lifeless and only makes for a good subwoofer amp . A real piece of garbage if you want the truth. | |
| ARC Ref 2 MK 2 Pre w/ Pass X-600 monos? I feel very comfortable saying that better than 90% of pre-amps do more harm than good. | |
| should everyone just order emm? Newbee are you?"and of course it has been bested by umpteen....."Far- far from reality. | |
| Classe DR-25 worth buying? I have a Classe Model 15. This was a nostalgia purchase for me as I had a DR-15 bought new. From the DR-15, I made the mistake and bought a CA-300. CA-300 has inferior midrange, searing treble and muddy bass.The Model 15 sounds nothing like the DR... | |

| Classe XLR balanced inputs?? It's news to me that Classe audio amps are true differential balanced circuitry. Give the RCA's a try as the poster above indicates. | |
| Audio Research LS25 Mk II vs Ref 1 Go for a PSE HL-1, eclipses any of these pre amps. | |
| Opus 21 cable questions I heard this player at home expo and thought it was nothing special. It was connected using the Din and the top end sounded a bit veiled and unrefined. Be prepared to tune away when you get it home. | |
| Audioquest Cables for Calming treble May I suggest that you spend some time over at AA- Cable Forum Archives first. Don't have the time right now. | |
| Audioquest Cables for Calming treble Perhaps one day, cables would be discussed here for what they are in generic form. Basically, the above conversion is about the sound of solid core copper and mono crystal stranded copper with the variable of dielectric/terminations. Learn the sou... | |
| What's the difference between the Audio Research.. Take notice of the frequent availabilty of used CD3's here on Agon. I am a former mk2 owner FWIW. If you like the sound of 1 bit converters, then this machine maybe for you. | |
| Snell E/III vs. Snell Type D loudspeakers Both the fuse and level control were bypassed. Not satisfied with this MUCH more natural and transparent sound. I played around with the power resistor pad glued to the back of the crossover plate. They use a 4ohm followed by a 2ohm at the x-over ... |
