New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies
So far, people have reported that the Omega+ mats are great, when added to the system already containing the regular mats.  If you remove the originals, the benefits reportedly last awhile, so it is difficult to judge the effect of the new + mat i...

Frank, I have an LP of Erica Morini playing 1st violin in Beethoven's op 18 no 4 quartet.  Felix Galimir on 2nd violin.  Very passionate.

Frank,Do you remember that 1967 Turnabout LP of the Rachmaninoff Symphonic Dances?  It was a demo LP in audio salons when I got started in 1978.  Last weekend on a radio program called "Rock (Rach) of all ages" they played a set of Ward Marston's ...

geoffkait,No compression in my recordings.  I dabbled in recording to prove that I could make more immediate, detailed classical recordings than anything available.  I spent a modest amount of money in the right places--mikes, Bryston mike preamp ...

jay23,Recently I met a young mastering engineer from Bklyn who worked with the renowned Bob Ludwig.  He said that at 72, Ludwig had excellent ears and taught the younger proteges what to listen for.  It is likely that Ludwig has diminished HF acui...

jay23,I agree that high fidelity should not be about flavors of the month.  I will always seek maximum information retrieval.

Frank--thanks for your responses to my questions.  Ric has confirmed that his SS amp also benefits from PPT in similar ways as you found with your ARC.  Let's hear from other SS owners who are users of PPT.I agree that ARC is the most neutral and ...

Newcomer here. I wonder why nobody has posted in the original E mat thread in a long time. I will copy my post to the new thread--New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies.My perspective is as a classical violinist who has performed solo in c...

new GAN amplifier
George,You are correct that many amps, but I will add not just class D, will not keep doubling their maximum power output from 4 to 2 ohms.  Once the max current capability is reached, say at 4 ohms, then at 2 ohms the max power is only 50% of tha...

The doubling of output from 8 to 4 ohms suggests a good power supply.  Good for starters. 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
Atmasphere,I follow what you are saying about how a voltage source SS amp invariant to impedance theoretically would sound bright driving an electrostatic speaker.  But in practice I don't find this to be the case.  Years ago, for fun, I put my to... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
Atmasphere,You said, "But I don't agree about the 'best speaker you can afford' thing! The reason is simple- you may find that you have a preference for an amplifier technology- tubes for example- and if that is the case buying an incompatible spe... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
Atmasphere,While you and Ric Schultz are technically correct that higher impedance speakers get better performance from amps than low impedance speakers, this ignores the overwhelming superiority of low impedance electrostatics for most musical cr... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
atmasphere,Of course you can take my word for anything I say I hear.  Also, because I am not in the business I tell things like it is without concern for politics.  Actually, I use an EQ to drastically boost HF because as a violinist hearing thing...
