| Sacrilege Going from Tubes back to Solid State Certainly the original efforts by John to improve the reference amp were to strengthen the line stage. The Statement, however, is directed toward the amp, which John found well conceived. It would make a good deal of sense to merely do another amp... | |
| DK Design Review I heard the LSA Model 10s at the RMAF with all Exemplar/LSA electronics. I have never heard anything approaching this sonic reproduction. Too expensive, however. | |
| Sacrilege Going from Tubes back to Solid State Tvad, yes the amp is still integrated but it also allows bypassing the line stage. Briefly I used the line stage. While it is okay, it is not state-of-the-art. I must say that I was surprised by this. It may suggest how superior the H-Cat is.At th... | |
| Sacrilege Going from Tubes back to Solid State Much to my disbelief I have no tubes in my system. I kind of evolve into this, first with the solid state H-Cat P12 line stage, but then I moved to the Esoteric X-01 Limited sacd player, and finally the LSA/Exemplar Statement amp. This is all prov... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? I meant Acoustic Zen not Audio Zen. Sorry.I spent most of my time listening to the new Pioneer speakers, the LSA Model 10s in the Walker suite (which I also heard driven by the Exemplar/LSA components), the Evolution speakers, the Zu suite, the ro... | |
| Stillpoint ERS Paper Question I sold the uncut sheets that I still had. Totally worthless in my system. | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? I was twice in the Balanced Power Tech. suite but did not notice any music being played. I was never in the Triode or ModWright suite. I still find it curious that the Adagios were not in the Audio Zen or Red Dragon suites.I am not in the least de... | |
| A great article on Class D/switching amps I think the latest issue of TAS has a good summary of prevalent opinions on class D amps and why they differ. Thus far I have heard some class D amps that I find sound good and some that I don't. I have had no opportunity to compare these with oth... | |
| A great article on Class D/switching amps Duomike, is the Millenium the first Tact amp? | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? It was strange that there were no Adagios at the RMAF, or at least I could find none. What I heard at the Audio Zen suite was a very poor sounding larger speaker. It was so bad I could not stay in the room to ask anything about it.The Red Dragon r... | |
| A great article on Class D/switching amps Phd, with the B&O ICE module readily available, I don't think you will see an analog power supply. In fact at the rate they seem to be selling, I expect little further developement for the next year. | |
| Senior Audiophiles - Audiophile since the 60-70's? I think audio is a lot like cars. I used to tune cars by listening to them or driving them. Now the chip needs to be read by the computer. Not as much fun but clearly better.It is still a fun hobby and now you meet interesting people even across t... | |
| A great article on Class D/switching amps I had a JBL IceCube class D amp in 1976. It had a switching power supply as I recall. It ran the hell out of my Infinity Quantum Line Sources. I think the present rage would not have happened except that B&O developed their little cubes which ... | |
| A great article on Class D/switching amps This topic raises blood pressure. Isn't it curious? I find the entire idea that there are two classes of amps with all within a class sounding alike unbelievable. Even among class D amps I hear great differences, and among class A/B amps, I have h... | |
| Overpriced Tube Amps I hope this doesn't mean what I think it does. |
