| Attn: McCormack DNA 0.5 owners Do you have a 0.5 with a revision c, b, or a? I was just talking with somebody about this. It appears that this sometimes frightening thump has to do with wether or not your particular model has (I believe them to be) input relays.If you have a Re... | |
| Rear wall effect on sound stage location? Don't overlook your individual cabling, components, and speakers and the synergy thereof.If your speakers are properly positioned and the room acoustics are adequate, yet your friends all have a slightly more 'forward' presentation for say female ... | |
| Opinions Bat VK500, Mccormack DNA 2, Levinson amps Among the 4 or 5 amps I've owned in recent years, my most recent included the BAT VK-500 w/BATPACK, then the SimAudio Moon W-5, and then the McCormack DNA-2 LAE (Limited Anniversary Edition).The VK-500 had a powerful and contolling lower bass regi... | |
| Revel vs. Aerial vs. B&W Progolf, that's it? How about a little more detail? And if you have any experience with the 10T's, how would you compare the 10T to the 20T? And what components are you driving?Thanks, | |

| odyssey amp's how do they compare to others Well said, Jallen. 18 months ago, I ordered a pair of Stratos monoblocks, then cancelled because I found the one amp that I thought was better. I've never listened to the Stratos but I've known people who have owned them and I've only heard very p... | |
| I Need to Mount Amps ON WALL+++ I'd start with a stud finder and the book "Dare to Discipline". If the book doesn't work, hit 'em with the stud finder. | |

| Mosfets: The way to go for SS amplification? My understanding is that generally MOSFETs have a tendency to have sweeter, warmer, even darker characteristics than other transistors. The potential downside of MOSFETs is that they can be attributed to a slightly more polite or recessed midrange... | |
| 2 channel system, would a sub be friend or foe? A sub would be a friend indeed. Especially for the Maggies which start to peter out at what 33Hz?Of course it matters what sub and how musical it is. But there is a lot of musical info way below 33Hz that you are not hearing. And I'm talking class... | |
| HT processor Classe SSP-50 vs Lexicon MC-1 I'd recommend the Primare P30 over these other units you are entertaining. You won't find much info on these but Primare is an outstanding little known Swedish company with a music first philosophy whether it's HT or 2-channel. I've had the P30 in... | |
| Peculiar problem? Show me the light... Warren, thanks for the email. Swampwalker is most likely correct about the Stealth being limited on the current draw. You might try using only the integrated on the Stealth, your source on the other outlet, and your sub on the extension cord again... | |
