| Anybody blow a ceramic woofer with an OTL amp? Soldering is done. 15 minutes. So far, so good...........:)Thanks for the interest. | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? I agree with Avguru. I too have tried a DV-50, ML 32, Krell KMA 160 KMA single-ended vs balanced and the balanced was clearly "better" to my ears. So I went to a completely balanced pre-amp and amp that were designed to be balanced preferentially.... | |
| Anybody blow a ceramic woofer with an OTL amp? Ralph has had enough trouble, financially, without my compounding it! But I appreciate your concern and comments, Howie. We Atma-Sphere owners are blinded by the sheer brilliance of the design and sound, and will go to any lengths to keep them and... | |
| realworld experience: Kharma subwoofer + 3.2 CRM I posted this question separately, as was not aware of this thread. I just blew a Ceramique driver when a driver 6SN7 tube blew and cracked the midrange driver. It was not covered by warranty. Presumably they only cover defective drivers, not thos... | |
| Anybody blow a ceramic woofer with an OTL amp? Actually, it was a 6SN7 that blew. (RCA Black plate NOS) Very unusual. Yes, I am enquiring about occurrence frequency. | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? I really don't believe there is any reason to doubt 711 Smlin's motives - in fact I would probably vote him the most enterprisng, energetic A'gon member I've ever heard of.......:) | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Nobody has mentioned that the APL 3910 is a single-ended design. Does this bother owners of fully balanced set-ups (like Atma-Sphere Preamps and amps, which I have)? Anybody know whether the Exemplar has balanced outputs? | |
| My Journey to Digital Nirvana Part 1 Smilin711, My deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother. I appreciate your giving us your impressions on an amazing list of state-of-the-art digital play-backs. I have one question, however: The current throne, by popular consensus, is held by M... | |
| Onix OA21s I owned this int amp for about 10 years and was very happy with it. Solid, totally reliable, very clean sound with non-fatiguing highs and excellent resolution. | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Let me put it this unambiguously: If a gun/knife/bomb toting thief came into my house and told me he was taking all my equipment except one component, (because he was a compassionate robber), I would give him my DCC2, MP-1, DV-50, Kharma 3.2s, Ind... | |
| Is the EMM CDSD transport in very short supply? The longer the wait and the more glowing reviews about Esoteric X-01 and other very high end units, I think, the less people will be prepared to wait "unreasonable lengths of time" for EMM transports - everybody has their "time limit", I think - u... | |
| Favorite SACD's Let me know, Tireguy. | |
| dcc2 owners: has anyone regretted the purchase? I have the DCC2 going to an Atma-Sphere MP-1 preamp - that way get the best of both worlds. | |
| Favorite SACD's Nothing that I have heard touches Bruno Walter and Beethoven's 6th Symphony. Just spectacular performance and recording. I defy anybody to listen to it and disagree:)(SS 6012) | |
| dcc2 owners: has anyone regretted the purchase? Not for a minute - it's sensational. |
