| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) tweak1,So you don't find the Voyager tubelike, which are the impressions of others here? The promotional materials for many GaN amps assert that they are smooth/sweet/tubelike. This is true with Voyager and the upcoming Mytek GaN amps. This is ... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) tweak1,Appreciate your input. Since you received the V last Thurs, you have only had them 150 hours, with probably much less play time. How do you know how many hours Wally put in for you, as a good customer? Someone on the LSA Voyager GaN thre... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... zephyr24069,Reading the Legacy Audio site, it appears that the IV1 monos, IV2 dual monos, and IV4 ultra all use probably the 1200 AS1 module for each channel. They are all in the Master Series. The regular IV4 and IV7 are in the lower Performanc... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... Ricevs,Thanks for your insights. Francesco at Rouge Audio says that their amps benefit from 500 hours of break in. PS Audio says 300. Have you taken a broken in stock Rouge Studio N-10DM and compared it to broken in stock PS Audio M1200 ? Afte... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... ricevs,I read the 10audio review of the Mivera amp, a stereo stock IceEdge 1200 AS2. Pretty bad--rolled off HF with all the deadly consequences for detail, spatiality, etc. I'm sure the 1200 AS1 stock used for each channel would be better, but h... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... ricevs,I'll quote your excerpt from that hometheaterhifi review. "Soundstage width and depth presentation not quite as “big” as some other reference-level amplifiers."This reviewer's reference amps are a BAT and Pass, both known to be tubelike. T... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... ricevs,Thanks for posting the hometheaterhifi review of the IV7. His reference amps are the BAT and Pass, which are euphonic. All the musical and movie examples he cites show more clarity/detail from the IV7 than from his reference amps. At the... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... tweak1,As I understood your earlier post, the WW optical cable seemed to be the factor rounding off the original "hot" sound of the EVS1200. Which cable produced the "hot" sound?As you know, my limited experience of GaN with the Merrill Element 1... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... dougeyjones,Around 1995, I experimented with various mike preamps using a few SS condenser mikes. I made a 1 min recording of my violin part in the opening of the Mendelssohn violin concerto for each combination. I tried to standardize my playin... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... zephyr24069,Thanks for being totally honest. My audio experience started as a child 66 years ago as a 2 year old child. The classical music radio station was playing all the time. Audio was my first understood language, since I said my first En... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... Thanks tweak1 for your informative post. You prefer a little roundness in sound obtained from the WW optical cable. With the other cable, you described the EVS1200 as sounding "a bit hot" which is music to my ears. If its soundstage was not as ... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... zephyr24069,Thanks for sharing your experience. I am about to order the Rouge Audio Studio N-10DM which is very similar to your Legacy IV, according to ricevs. Look at his site, tweakaudio.com, with its link to Rouge. Due to break in, I might e... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... zephyr24069,How do you describe the tonality of your Legacy IV4 Ultra? I want neutrality and HF extension, and no euphonic warmth. Ric of tweak audio.com describes the Rouge Audio N-10DM as similar to the Legacy IV series. I emailed Francesco o... | |
| Garth Powell on Why Audioquest does not make AC Regenerators kingbarbuda,Can you describe the differences in sound quality between the AQ Niagara 5000 and PSA Power Plant 20? On the video, Garth mainly talks about the superior power delivery from AQ vs AC regenerator. But Mike Fremer a few months ago in S... | |
| Power regenerator vs conditioner rbyington711,I also am fascinated by Mike Fremer's story. He said that the P20 + P15 restored his sound to the AQ 7000 level before the generator switch messed things up, but he implies that the P20 + P15 is no better than AQ. He hasn't decided ... |
