How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years?
Mr decibel, the problem with those two designs, is that they were only partially V-fet, as the transistors were not available to make them fully v-fet. thus.. the chain of signal manipulation and amplification was inherently non-linear in gain, ev... 
How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years?
the most important thing of all, I’ve come to find in over 30 years of looking at the technical side and the esoteric side and then flipping for another side and looking at how enjoyable the music is and how ’natural’ it is presented.... ..well..t... 
YBA PRODUCTS
Yves Bernard Andre, is the company. They even did/made their own transistors. Output devices, IIRC. Well made stuff, with a refined tastes type aim. When you are done with the big buttocks, breast implant and collagen lips kind of musical beauty-b... 
What a sad world we now live in.......
May I remind some folks of fiat currencies where with the flick of a pen, countries can be made bankrupt or with the flick of a pen, be made flush. Economies are manipulated by the few, under the cloak of security and secrecy. Historical records c... 
What a sad world we now live in.......
I’ve been known to use an inverter off the cigarette lighter to get a 120vac line... and put a premium mid-grade/boom box mini system in the back seat.  (like a Sony APM mini system) and then use the premium cassette deck in it.... Have to reach i... 
The best State or region for Audiophile
In DC we have drive by shootings. with excellent transient and overall dynamic range response, no doubt. The closer they are to you... the more realistic they sound.... 
Speaker of the Century Award Goes To ....
Many three driver speakers these days, with a tweeter on top with two woofers below... can be looked at as likely being 2.5 way-ish. A large number of the paradigms that have been built in this fashion are 2.5 way speakers. Again about the planars... 
Speaker of the Century Award Goes To ....
electrostatics, magnetic planar speakers suck. Couldn’t swing a dynamic range signal to save their lives. All they’ve got is a few db of leading edge to fawn over... and after that... it’s all distorted crap. This is true, to a perfect T, as it's ... 
The 4k release of Blade Runner--is anyone as disappointed as I am??
I have both discs, but I’ve never done the comparison. I have to ask, or sort of ask via the proxy of just sayin’.... This is an HDR encoded 4k disc. (High Dynamic Range)It will only look correct when decoded by a properly functioning HDR capable... 
What are important features in a listening chair
I'm interested in relaxation while listening, so it has always been something akin to or exactly as a stressless design. 
New TEO Audio ICs, who has them?
One of the things confronted when making these cables, is that they are not wire. They are room temperature fluid metal in hollow tubes. An intricate and carefully designed application of a wholly different technology to something that appears to ... 
Speakers under $50k that rival $200k+ speakers?
Hearing is literally individual in wiring and mental wiring of interpretation, inside the individual. There is correlation and similarities but all 100% individual in build, components, and wiring. (biological, neural, etc) Therefore no single spe... 
Does anyone use wood for vibration control?
Let’s say you’re right, for the sake of argument. Let’s say electrons vibrate and let’s say they somehow distort the audio signal. But as you say, there’s nothing you can do about it. So, why worry about something you can’t do anything about? Espe... 
Replacing my MFA Luminescence B2 preamp
Well, that's just like...your opinion, man. 
Well maybe it IS my hearing
I’m just doing standard monkey stuff. I’m codifying, counting, collating, weighing, sorting, moving about, and fussing over ----the rocks inside and in front of my cave. Same old same old. Some things never change. Until they do. My rocks are bett...
