| Meitner/EMM Labs Firmware Upgrade = Sonic Bliss Thought this review follow-up would be of interest here: https://www.soundstagehifi.com/index.php/opinion/1258-the-best-got-better-revisiting-emm-labs-da2-reference-digital-to-analog-converter | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @grey9hound - According to the 6moons review of the Pacific it uses a Sigma Delta DAC chip, the identity of which remains a secret: "The digital board changed significantly as well. LampizatOr's chipless DSD engine can be mounted if one desires y... | |
| Paradigm Persona series @audiotroy - With all due respect regarding your post above, an anechoic chamber (an-echoic meaning "non-reflective, non-echoing, echo-free") is a room designed to effectively absorb any reflections of sound. So any "normal" (non-anechoic) listeni... | |
| Jumperless jumpers I recall seeing a review of the Dueland wire (in Positive Feedback I believe) where they recommended exactly what you are suggesting when connecting to speakers which support bi-wiring and claimed it was superior to any alternative connection scheme. | |
| Paradigm Persona series The Persona speakers seem to be a very polarizing design, with some loving them and others finding them to be too forward and objectionably bright. I've seen both user comments and reviews reflecting this dichotomy with extremely strong voices on ... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Russ (@benzman) - Don't know exact dimensions but you can see several pics of WC's listening space with much of the equipment he's gone through on his system page: https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/7631 | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! techno_dude may have an ulterior motive and actually wants to buy the Ref10 from WC, that's why he's so strongly encouraging its sale. ;~) I similarly believed that simplifying things by eliminating an active line stage in a digital system would b... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! One suggestion regarding your plan to evaluate the Lampi direct with the use of better cables... if you find that they elevate the performance to a new level I think you should then try those cables with the Ref10 since they are likely to similarl... | |
| Coaxial Ribbon Midrange/tweeter - Can a small midrange ribbon actually do midrange well? I owned their earlier model C10 Ltd. which also used a version of their hand made coaxial midrange/tweeter. While they refer to them as 'ribbons' they're actually planar magnetic in design, since the conductive foil elements are on a substrate rat... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @almarg - Thanks for your very detailed follow-up regarding Class A operation which covers much more than I did. You made an excellent point about the inefficiency of Class A amps so that even when driving speakers at a high level the amps will st... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Just a technicality for reference... pure Class A bias amps run at their full rated Class A power at all times. When actively driving speakers a portion of that rated power is dissipated by the speakers instead of by the amp. As a result the amps ... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @viber6 - The only power amp from Exogal is called the Ion PowerDAC which can only be used in conjunction with their Comet DAC. Reports I've read on its sound quality are rating it as exceptional and details on each can be found at the provided li... | |
| Trouble Decreasing Treble To adjust the VTA on the JMW-9 arm you have to first loosen the two setscrews on the round base and then turn the adjustment wheel. Once the desired height is set you then snug up those two setscrews. This is briefly explained is section 7 on page... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Good things come to those who wait... and patience is a virtue. | |
