| The amazing new Marigo Evolution Signature Mat " but no one has responded to my conjecture that some cd players, are either unaffected by cd mats, or sound worse with them."These are two separate questions, first involving at least techical aspects and second to subjective analyses.1. Your CD ... | |
| The amazing new Marigo Evolution Signature Mat Coopersark,I did differenrt experiment with computer audio. I started to rip CD's with this mat and compare sound from ripped CD with and without this mat. Clearly CD ripped with mat sounded better albeit in somewhat smaller proprtion then using V... | |
| The amazing new Marigo Evolution Signature Mat Thank you Cooper for great review - I could feel genuine enthusiasm. I know Ron Hendrick from early 1990's and he always made great products. I got this mat from Marigo Lab for my Transport (Esoteric VOSR) yesterday and in a few seconds I could he... | |
| One Monoblock or Two? "First, what do you call a 'difficult load'? " - High values of "Equivalent Peak Dissipation Resistance" or EPDR which is, simply, the resistive load that would give rise to the same peak power device dissipation as the speaker itself. Using EPDR ... | |
| One Monoblock or Two? Bi-ampling will make sense ONLY if speakers you use are very difficult to drive and create gross distortions with both of these two configurations. For example, lets assume that the source of the distortions lies in low frequency area. If you use ... | |
| What do you look for in damping factor? " What do you look for in damping factor? "Nothing. Its almost meaningless number, largely explained by Athmaspere in his 1st post.Simon | |
| Zu Omen Defs and Ice Amps? For the record:It is correct that very powerful amplifier, like our Musician III, can be rather poor match for the high sensitivity speakers. This why each and every Musician III leaving factory (sold new or after upgarde, repair etc) is tested on... | |
| Amplifier Weight. A Factor? The weight of amplifier, largely, depends on its power supplies. Many look on rms power in specs to estimate how powerful the amplifier in question is but others look only at headroom i.e. peak voltage, current, their duration and level of distort... | |
| Spectron Remote Sense MKII cables Hello,I would like to clarify a few points:1 - Elrod Silver Speaker Cable has been NEVER compared A/B with any of recent Spectron Remote Sense cables. 2 - Objectively, we can only compare prices and specs mostly. Here, specs are almost not prese... | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... Kijanki,I more or leass agree with you in your assessment of SMPS versus lienar power supplies and already noted that we use both, one type in audiophile products and another in pro audio projects (e.g. 8kw rms pro audio ampliifer with linear powe... | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... Hello Kijanki,"It is often said that Icepower sounds good only with linear power supplies. On the other hand newest linear class AB amps from Jeff Rowland (one costing $46k) use switching power supplies. "You are correct, Jeff Rowland developed hi... | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... Hello Kijanki,I wish to apologize. I have had no idea whatsoever that ICE Power uses Zobel network. I don;t want my words to be iterpreted as even slightest critic of our competitor.Still, for the record (and from our web site):" Spectron designs ... | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... " 'd' amps have a pretty good phase shift in the HF range due to the Zobel."To the best of my knowledge no class D amplifier on Earth uses Zobel "filters". With Zobel, you would need to build up your amplifier individually to satisfy requirment of... | |
| Natural and Neutral could be boring .. I don;t want "Natural & Neutral"I want "Life-Like" exactly as Schipo wrote. I also close my eyes during the concerts and imagine that it is "my friend's stereo" and I "want" it.Big question is when do you know its "life-like" outside of concer... | |
| balanced connection, better than single ended? "The Audio Research amp that I purchased is a true balanced design.... I... never took advantage of its balanced technology"I am not sure I understand meaning of the word "true balanced design"....as oppose to "false.."?I guess that your ARC amp h... |
