Review: ART SLA-1 Amplifier
Audiojerry: according to the website that Pmkap listed above, the unit can be bridged at the flip of a switch. Given the low power output / lack of power supply reserve that this amp has at 4 ohms, bridging it might actually agravate the "lean sou... 
Power cord? Why?
Eldartford: I think that you should pick up a set from one of the dealers that Corona mentioned on a 15 - 30 day trial basis and use these "super cables" as a comparison against your stock cables. Using an FFT to analyze these cables will leave NO... 
Review: PS Audio HCA-2 Amplifier
Kevziek: Not to steal Bigkidz thunder, but you really have to listen to a Pass amp in a well set-up system to be able to understand what they sound like / do for music reproduction. I think of them as bringing the "three E's" to a system i.e. Enga... 
What is everyone using for dedicated AC lines???
Glen: If you don't mind me asking, what is the second 200 amp sub-panel for ? If i read this right, you'll have a 200 amp main feeding a 200 amp sub-panel feeding a 100 amp sub-panel. The 200 amp main would appear to be for the whole house and you...

Dls: I'd love to see any pictures of the SLA-1 that you'd like to forward. Drop me a line and i'll shoot you my email address. Sean> 
Review: ART SLA-1 Amplifier
Cool. Thanks for your initial thoughts. One question though. Your description of the AC inlet and fan have me confused. It sounds like there is a separate box for the transformer ( possibly entire power supply ) and the fan is on the power supply ... 
Power cord? Why?
Corona: Are you involved with the marketing, design, production, sales, etc.. of any type of audio based product ? Given the fiasco that came of the ART amplifier thread, we might as well get this type of thing out in the open right away when some... 
Amp heat sinks are ringing
Labtec: I deal with electrical tape every day. There are various grades that hold up to varying degrees over time. Some of this stuff won't even stick to itself after a while. Either way, i will GUARANTEE that putting tape on the heatsink fins of ... 
Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet?
Walter & Ears: I apologize for coming across so strongly. I hope that you are happy with your purchases AND take the time to do some in-depth listening with them. Having someone that is willing to give them a chance to strut their stuff side b... 
Power cord? Why?
Hahaha... as i've said before, it's too bad we can't get people together and "talk shop" without being afraid of losing what they consider "proprietary knowledge". While everybody has their "trade secrets", and i'm sure that some of these are quit... 
Concert attendance
Wdhsvbgod: I saw Peter on what was the very first show of this tour at the tale end of last year. My girlfriend is a big fan of his and we ended up with front row seats. The show was very good. According to a local radio station that polled their ... 
Amp heat sinks are ringing
I agree with Audiobugged. It sounds like you've got a lot of work ahead of you. The ringing of the heatsinks is but a very small piece of the puzzle at this point in time. My thoughts are that you should work with room acoustics first and then mov... 
Amp heat sinks are ringing
If you really want to do this right ( the Goldmund method is "partially there" ), it will require drilling holes or being very creative in using threaded holes that are already in the chassis. These holes are used to anchor the multiple metal damp... 
Concert attendance
I went to see Arthur Lee of the band "Love" backed by a 15 piece orchestra last night. On the way there, i ran into three separate but very distinct problems. While none of these were major, i took it as "someone" trying to tell me that i wasn't s... 
NAD takes on the Krell Beast 1800 vs 6700??
One of my friends has a NAD dealership and he's told me that he can't give the S200's away. While I don't know what they sound like, my guess is that "audiophiles" are prejudiced against NAD products being best suited for "starter systems". It's h...
