| $4500 amp beat out the Tenor OTL in the latest TAS Asa, your remark "...even as they perceive it" makes me wonder: Do you think they even realize the full extent and nature of the effect they have? The phenomenon of grade-inflation in Stereophile's 'Recommended Components' makes me believe they do... | |
| Giving up on Power Race, and going SET? Patrick, is there a URL with a picture posted of your baby (the car, I mean)? And have you ever seen the admittedly obscure 1974 documentary film "Funny Car Summer" (if not, you can look it up on imdb.com)?Macrojack, everyone prefers gas over elec... | |
| Giving up on Power Race, and going SET? Amen, Clueless. Why is it again you say you generally don't desire to post at length much anymore? :-) | |
| $4500 amp beat out the Tenor OTL in the latest TAS Asa, I largely agree with the essence of what I take it to be that you are saying. My disagreement with Kana813 was intentionally very specific and limited in scope (mainly because so was his remark I wanted to respond to). It is much too facile a... | |
| $4500 amp beat out the Tenor OTL in the latest TAS Yes, those are all high-powered push-pull transformer-coupled amps. After I bought the VTLs in the story I related above, I believe the previous owner was ordering the outboard transformers for his Atma-Spheres (MA-1's, if I recall correctly, but ... | |
| Giving up on Power Race, and going SET? I've emailed De Lima with a couple of basic questions about his published graphs, asking for a little information which is not provided in his article or graph labels (but should be), so that I don't have to work from any assumptions if I don't ha... | |
| Giving up on Power Race, and going SET? Clueless and Twl, I have printed and read through the De Lima paper. Read through it a few times, in fact. You are right, there are actual measurement graphs in there, similar to the types I called for above, that would seem to demonstrate the phe... | |
| Inexpensive tweak You mean cat spunk is out? | |
| $4500 amp beat out the Tenor OTL in the latest TAS Eralff, FWIW, the member I bought my VTL's from went to Atma-Spheres, and last I knew was not convinced about the benefit of his switch. Which is not to denigrate the Atma-Spheres (a product that actually interests me as well), but just to point o... | |
| $4500 amp beat out the Tenor OTL in the latest TAS Ha! Like the song says, it's later than you think, my friend. :-) | |
| Comparison of Magnepan 1.6QR to the 3.3R The ceiling height should have no particular effect on a line-source driver, which is why Maggies can start at the bottom with their driver surface in very close proximity to the floor. The reverberent soundfield of low-ceilinged listening rooms i... | |
| $4500 amp beat out the Tenor OTL in the latest TAS Huh? Where is Asa in this thread? | |
| Giving up on Power Race, and going SET? Twl, I appreciate your position regardless of whether or not I personally buy into De Lima's theory. Thanks for taking the time to explicate your thoughts in depth. As you probably know from our past discussions, I have always been curious to get ... | |
| Inexpensive tweak Glad to have been of some real use around here!(Keep waiting... :-) | |
| $4500 amp beat out the Tenor OTL in the latest TAS Kana813 and Warrenh, far be it from me to defend Stereophile too much. I find everything from their cover blurbs to their Recommended Components list to the actual reviews to be sorely lacking in many ways. I could probably reel off a post, as lon... |
