| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. To further expand on the Berning bass performance I will say that the Berning zh270 amp has bass performance comparable to the best ss amps I have personally heard. With a stable 8 ohm load this amp will deliver full power down to 2hz and listenin... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. I feel that there are system synergies that also must be taken into consideration. I have heard a few great ss systems but I have never owned a great ss amp. The price for admission is probably too high for me but as Zaikesman notes with the ML 33... | |
| Are we music lovers or gear lovers? Lgregoir your query reminds me of a letter sent into Stereophile years ago. The details are a bit sketchy but a purchaser looking to buy some specific used gear encounters an "audiophile" that has closets full of very expensive gear. Apparently he... | |
| Where does your user name come from? It actually came about quite spontaneously when I discovered this site, or was it AA? I dig the warm glow of tubes and a hallowed film from the early 70's, The Groove Tube, remember that one when Wally and Beaver Cleaver made a cameo appearance? Y... | |
| Anyone tried Kharma cable,suppose to be the best ? Hey, somebody bring out the peter meter, its time we got this thing settled once and for all. Between Gran Finale and Grand Reference there is sure plenty of room for a Grand Enigma and I ain't talking about cables either. | |
| TRELJA in New York, 2002 Paul and Trejla I don't buy into multi-channel other than to extract the ambience of the venue. This was originally done digitally by the introduction of the Yamaha DSP-1 digital processor which came out in the mid 80's. In addition to your main s... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Boy I just love the comradrie of this group. There must be something indeed special about these products. Too much positive energy. Just the waiting, anticipation, trials and tribulations and finally the support from each other, it is one of the b... | |
| TRELJA in New York, 2002 not all. I do concur with Robert Hartley on the Karma/Lamm room but can't say that it stood out more than "among the best". I believe the Joseph audio room to also fall into that category due to the room, speakers and the controlled demonstration.... | |
| Mosfet amps A true compromise betw. tubes and SS? Hi WillI would be interested in your list of good tube amps that fall short of ss in the areas of clarity, speed and dynamics and even detail, my you have me curious. You might want to hear a good OTL design with a proper load to put that assumpti... | |
| Recommended female vocalists? You might try "Send in the Clowns" Sarah Vaughn with The Count Basie Orchestra. A mature Vaughn that still exibits her incredible range with a performance that will just melt your heart, especially the title song, highly recommended. | |
| Vandersteen Mod 5 vs Coincident Tech Total Eclipse Joe, great post and I'm glad someone finally said it with the authority you did. NOTHING is more important in a speaker purchase than room interaction and personal taste. With 2 systems of this caliper there really is no best. This "best" argument... | |

| JPS Labs power cables Hi PopsI have both the AC power cord and the digital cord. The AC cord is OK but I've heard better in my system. I'm sure it is system dependent though, as some of the above comments will attest. The digital cord is another matter. This cord has f... | |
| Anybody considerered Merlins? ChazzLike everything else, what you listen to, how you listen and what virtues are important in the reproduction of music are paramount in making a decision as to whether the Merlins are the right choice for long term enjoyment. I've owned them fo... | |
| Songs that you just have to sing I really get into Motown and soul songs. Back in the 60's growing up when my buddies and I were together we would always sing those songs in harmony (or at least we tried!). Ones that really stand out and I sing along with every time I hear Ain't ... |
