| Use of a super tweeter worth the investement ? emaillists, I enjoy the Enigmacoustics Sopranino with my Audiostatic 240 electrostatic main speaker. I use the low crossover setting at 8 kHz, which greatly increases the output into much lower freq, compared to the high 12 kHz setting. Even th... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) Cascadesphil,I just messaged tweak1, and I hope you get together and A/B the stock Voyager with your modded Voyager in each other's systems. There are many variables you discussed, so if you guys can keep it simple and constant, you can figure ou... | |

| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) cascadesphil,How about midrange and HF clarity, speed, transparency from the modded Voyager vs EVS 1200 (approximately a modded Rouge Studio N10-DM)?I am in touch with Rouge. The Pascal modules are claimed to be superior to IceEdge for clarity/ne... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) Merrill W. in his Element GaN's, told me that LOWER switching speed is actually better. This is because dead time is a fixed constant for the particular transistor, so if there is lower switching speed, there is a longer time before switching nee... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) Ricevs,Yes, the review contained no comparisons, which we all wanted. He is an old man, so may not want to bother. Still, his few words are informative, like the amp being uncolored. This is much more informative than a typical young reviewer g... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) Ricevs,The reviewer, Anthony Cordesman is an old, seasoned listener who I have read for 40 years. He assumes the reader knows the extensive comments he has made over the years. Still, you are right that taken as an isolated review, it is not as ... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) grannyring,Just listen carefully to natural live unamped music and nonmusical sounds of nature. The "tight" body of the live piano is like an anvil being hit with a hammer/mallet. The tightness of the bouncing basketball, the scary body of thunde... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) Totally correct--"Also, no matter what the instrument I want to hear the leading edge of the notes as well as the body of the instrument, plus the harmonics and decay." All these are attributes of live music. However, in audio systems which lose... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) ricevs,Let me try to answer your observations--"Neutrality can be all over the place because no one does straight wire bypass tests on amplifiers. Some call an amp neutral when it has no natural warmth........what is natural warmth? Just your gu... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) It's all a matter of degree of warmth. Warmth is most obvious for HF, but the rest of the freq range is affected as well. The most clarity/detail is enabled by neutrality. With a reasonably efficient speaker and music that doesn't demand very l... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) Absence of earsplitting pain suggests that the Voyager softens the bad music even just a little. My Rouge IceEdge is quite neutral, whereas the V may be slightly warmer, according to the comments of most V users. I suppose Ric's mods retain the ... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) Tweak1,Sorry, I couldn't find the Technics review in TAS online. Do you have a link? What is the full name of the Technics amp so I can try searching for it? Thanks. | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) Whatever your preferred system and acoustic tweaks you use, listen to the Voyager for many more weeks in a standardized way, and then go back to the EVS1200, to report on your findings. I got lost trying to follow your findings with so many chang... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) ricevs,Yes, there are many tweaks that affect the sound. Suppose you have sorbothane feet on amp A and B, then you put better feet on both amps. The essential differences between A and B will still be approximately the same, although both A and ... |
