| it all sounds good, but..... I presntly have a digital front end system which reproduces live music quite well. I go to Operas, symphonies and Jazz concerts, come home and almost duplicate the performance with a similar performance on a red book CD. See my system. Lots of twe... | |
| Review: JPS Labs Superconductor 3 Interconnect Three month listening followup. The JPS Labs Superconductor 3 interconnects continue to improve in resolution and clarity. I would estimate 90% of performance at 100 hours and now at 200-300 hours I have perhaps 10% more improvement. They were won... | |
| Review: JPS Labs Superconductor 3 Interconnect Mike, I was able to trade my SC2s for the SC3s and was given 40% of the SC2s retail value new. The SC3s are usually discounted a little, so a two for one trade can be expected. I have had the SC3s now for about 10 wks. About 100 hours of playing t... | |
| "Reference" Preamps I dare say the deHavilland Mercury 2 would not be embarassed in the company of "the reference preamps", at probably 1/2 to 1/4th the cost. See the "Enjoy the Music" review. The Mercury has been the most exciting addition to my audio system in 40 y... | |
| Best SS amps with sound similar to tube amps Gamut Mk.3. ss amps rival some very good tube amps. They are particularly highly regarded in Europe. I believe their secret is using single large mosfet switching output devices which gives them single voicing much like a SET tube amp. I haved use... | |
| DeHavilland Mercury Pre-amp Owners I use the GamuT Mk.3 amp with my Mercury which is extremely natural and emotionally satisfying with no fatigue. I have had the combination for 2 years. | |
| pick me a cd player please-3k to 4k budget I love the GamuT CDP if still available. Reviews are excellent. I have been using one for 2yrs. + and no desire to change. | |
| Will power conditioning really help? I have used the Audio Magic Mini Stealth AC purifier for a couple years. I ABd with and without it for all my components and it always made a significant improvement. The sound with the purifier was always cleaner, clearer, and just plain purer. I... | |
| help with s.s. amp upgrade A used GamuT D-100 Mk.3 is for sale on Audiogon for $1750. This is a wonderful ss amp. It is very natural, musical (tube like), dynamic, transparent with about as good a sound stage you can get anywhere. This sounds virtually identical to the D-20... | |
| Single ended to XLR adapter I also use Cardas RCA XLR adapters for a similar situation. Both my CDP and amplifier sound better utilizing the XLR output and input respectively even though I am unbalamced with the Preamp. My gain for one thing is greater and I have a better im... | |
| Ultimate Amplifier for the next 20 Years Another excellent choice, used for about 3500-4000 is the GamuT D-200 Mk3. This amp runs very cool. I have read 7 reviews on this amp all of them are favorable. I use the GamuT D-100 Mk.3. which I love and is essentially the same as the D-200 with... | |
| CD player in the $2,500 to $5,000 range A very accurate musical nondigital sounding CDP is the GamuT which is working out a US distribution problem, I believe. I have been listening to my GamuT for 3 years and my respect only has increased. Positive-Feedback just reviewd it and had many... | |
| A tubes vs. Solid State question. I have been listening to the GamuT Mk.3 for 2 years. This amp is very transparent and coherent. It clips gently. The GamuT is unique in that it uses large switching MOSFET output devices, only one for the push and one for the pull, each channel as... | |
| Tube Preamp Isolation I use the Aurio 1.2 under my deHavilland Mercury preamp with a 1/4 " piece of maple between preamp and Aurio which took all the ringing out and is superb. I use the Sistrum under my amp which is fabulous and would probably be great under a preamp. | |
| Pass X1 or BAT 51 SE to drive Pass Aleph 1.2 ? I do not believe the Pass 1.2 is truely a balanced amp or really benefits from balanced interconnect. I owned the Aleph 5 for years and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the Pass X2.5 which is similar to the X1 which was excellent, but I much prefer my... |
