| $20 tweak to tame that digital shrillness I heard Mark's rather controlled demo of the Burwen-Bobcat at H.E. 2005 in NYC. It was smooth, but not overly involving or "magical." However, since we were unable to hear an unprocessed CD, it's hard to make the call. I have an EQ in my rack for ... | |
| Has anyone heard the Burwen Bobcat system I heard it at the '05 HE Show in NYC. Ditto what Dracule1 said, although I did find the sound smooth and listenable. Reading between the lines of what he was telling everyone, I suspect that this gadget is not much more than a sophisticated filter... | |

| Subtlety ? do any American amps do it? My system has some limitations that may disqualify my answer, but I would audition the Odyssey Audio amps. I have owned the HT3 (with cap upgrade) since June of '05, and IMHO, it offers a taste of what the mega-buck amps I've heard offer at a frac... |
