| 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... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies I am not a basher but a seeker of truth via listening and measurements if the latter is possible. Yes, I have purchased and made shielded clothing which improves my sleep, and this correlates with dramatically lower RF measurements under the clot... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies I have an open mind, but what technical evidence does anyone have that the mats reduce RFI? OK, the music sounds better to some users, but exactly what distortion is being reduced? Perhaps geoffkait can try to measure these things. With no tech... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies jafreeman,You said this about day 12 of the + mat, "they are now overtaken by a richness of low and midrange overtones, newly blossomed out of what seemed like a formerly stark presentation." I am interested in a crisp, detailed sound which is na... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies geoffkait,For over a year, I have been concerned about the medical ill effects of environmental RFI/EMI. I bought the esi24 meter from lessEMF.com, which measures environmental low freq electrical, magnetic, and RF. I found that I get better sle... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies Frank,Thanks for your reco of the Erica Morini Tchaikovsky concerto. Even on youtube, the sound is good. This is a beautiful feminine interpretation, with accurate, nonshowy dignity. Even just the opening phrase has simple, lyrical beauty. I h... | |
| new GAN amplifier George,Even though Pass may have less feedback than Bryston, I hate the euphonic sound of Pass. There are many more factors determining the sound than the amount of feedback. |
