| Berning ZH270 - Wiring Upgrade Art your comments are interesting concerning running the Berning direct. I've tried it and although it it is very transparent, it seems to lack much of the involvement and presence than running through a pre. I can't tell you why this should be, m... | |
| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? In my years in this hobby I would agree with Maxxc, there is so much truth in what you say. There are many examples of overachievers from the perspective of price + performance = great value. From my own experiences in this hobby I would say that ... | |
| Joule vzn 80 or 100 for merlins? I agree the VZN 80 is more than enough power with the VSM in most instances. The 100's may be preferable in a larger room but you don't give room dimensions. I had a VZN 80 in my 16X18/12X8 L shaped room with 10' ceilings, no problem at all. Dynam... | |
| krell & merlin what next? "What amp should I look for if I like the power of the krell and the engaging sound of the pass?"I also like the Pass very much, it is an extremely musical ss amp among the few ss amps I've heard that offers more than a bit of what tubes do well, ... | |
| Best Speakers at Montreal Show this past weekend? Kevin to my ears and taste I found nothing better than the Verity Parsifal/Berning/Stillpoint at the Holiday Inn and Verity Parsifal Ovation/Nagra/Silversmith rooms in that order. The only other room close, in my opinion, was the Kharma room. My o... | |
| Berning ZH270 Synergy Yes, there is a break in period, about 2-3 weeks in my case but you will hear the difference immediately. I'm sure you'll be happy you did it. | |
| Berning ZH270 Synergy Art, the Berning is really a universal amp that works with a wide variety of speakers. I recently heard a zh270 side by side with a Krell KSA 250 amp driving a pair of Legacy Focus in a medium size room with 10' ceilings, the Berning wasn't lackin... | |
| Who makes Beautiful / Attractive Speaker Cables? I agree with Danlib for my tastes, Audience AU24, they're skinny, flexible, easy to hide and let the music come through. I intensely dislike large bulky cable........a royal pain in the arse in everyway!! except some DO sound very good. | |
| Berning TF-10 to TF-12. anyone do that? Here is the link Richard. I hope to meet you there!http://www.hifiexpo.com/FSI_2004_en/index.html | |
| Berning TF-10 to TF-12. anyone do that? Well this is interesting Richard as I have a pair of MC-60's lying around. I also have the Berning zh270 amp and Supratek Syrah, both very nice components but there is something intrinsically appealing to me about the zh270 that I have rarely enco... | |
| What is PRaT Something that is attributable to real music and the ability of an audio system to reproduce it. An audio system can't have PRaT on its own. It is amusing to me to see a system described as having PRaT, how could this be? | |
| Berning TF-10 to TF-12. anyone do that? Very nice summary Richard. I have been long interested in the TF12 since JGH did a review for Stereophile back in 1988, my first encounter with David Berning and his fine products. Could you comment on how it might compare with current pre-amps? I... | |
| Atma-Sphere M60 or David Berning ZH270? Hi LaoyuapWhen you get your amp and live with it for a while for an added treat I highly recommend the internal wire mod. As Oneproof notes, this is a remarkable improvement in effortlessness and ease. I have owned the amp 3 years as of yesterday.... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? I recently watched "The Song Remains the Same", I gotta say that Jimmy Page has got some special blues licks. I just realllly got into some of the fine subtle points of his playing. He is/was one hellava musician. These white boys can really do so... | |
| Audio Research D-115 MKIII tube amp.. I owned one and really liked it a lot, great staging, a lot of umph in the bass but as noted by Silab, not as controlled as what you can currently find albeit at a price. The upper frequencies in comparison to the better tube amps out there curren... |
