| Tekton speakers with Ribbon / AMT ?? As ricevs said, use of Be may be more critical for very HF. But since Be has advantages of high rigidity with low mass, it probably would let the midrange sound more accurate as well as HF. Since midrange is the most critical for musical authentic... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions jsoku,All of us have some HF hearing loss due to aging, noise exposure, etc. Most don't realize it. Forgive me, I am a little confused about what Eric said about the difference between the Encore and Moab. "He described the Encores having a ful... | |
| New Turntable Direction My taste in sound is crystal clear, detailed and lean. I hate bass bloat and fullness, which are usually associated with impaired clarity in the entire freq spectrum. My Linn Valhalla with Alphason HR100S titanium tonearm, Denon 305 cartridge ga... | |
| M900U vs the world As I said, few amps hold their value, or anything close to it. Grey9hound is correct--"None of the mega buck amps will hold their value , because they are all overpriced to begin with." | |
| Just received my new Luxman CL-1000 pre-amp. The sound quality is everything. Not much effort to get up from your chair to adjust volume manually. Often you know the setting on the vol control for each recording, so you could just keep the vol control set and merely turn the power amp on/o... | |
| Benchmark ABH2 compared to Merrill Element Series and other ultra high end amps soundhound, Yes, I agree. As a violinist, I enjoy the sound under my ear and a few feet away playing string quartets, and playing in the orchestra. Unfortunately, as a concertgoer sitting even in the 1st row center, my perceptions have been grea... | |
| Benchmark ABH2 compared to Merrill Element Series and other ultra high end amps soundhound,You cannot have it all in any system. If you like fine stats like the ML CLX, you value accuracy and detail. The Benchmark AHB2 is an accurate amp in like manner. There are certainly many amps that emphasize power and large scale dyn... | |
| Benchmark ABH2 compared to Merrill Element Series and other ultra high end amps soundhound,My electrostatics are the Audiostatic 240 from early 1980’s. They are still the most detailed stats I have ever heard, although I admire the ML CLX as next best. My 240’s are mellowing out compared to when I got them nearly 40 years ago... | |
| Benchmark ABH2 compared to Merrill Element Series and other ultra high end amps At different times, I heard a single AHB2 and stereo Merrill Element 114 at home. The AHB2 was more neutral at continuous low/moderate SPL's, but it shut down at moderate SPL peaks when driving my inefficient electrostatic speakers. The 114 was ... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? nitrobob,I can’t speak from personal audition, but will just summarize what tweak1 heard and posted. His EVS 1200 is not warm, but detailed and neutral. It is a tweaked version of the IceEdge. The Legacy is likely to sound neutral, although degree... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k mayoradamwest,I guess you heard the Boulder 1160 at home, liked it and ordered it. What is the sound characteristic? | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies Frank,I also enjoy your musical comments. Strictly speaking, they don't relate to the E mat topic, so I hope the moderator doesn't take this too literally and delete all these pleasant comments. Clearly, the E mats have brought joy to many peopl... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies Fleschler's finding that the E-mat caused forward/bright sound is opposite to the majority of the findings by other people that the E-mat yields a rounder, warm sound. Krissy also says that the effect is more warmth. Frank said that it is not eu... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies thecarpathian,I thought atdavid's explanation informative. But if you found no difference with RFI shielding products, then these PPT products are doing something other than reducing RFI. I still say that technical measurements on these PPT prod... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies Frank,Thanks for your balanced info about various tweaks that were good and others that were bad. You also said, "various contact enhancers that sounded great in the beginning, then degraded over time and had to be removed." In what time periods... |
