Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
I should have mentioned this, Roger built a very accurate switch box that has a long cable with a button switch on the end. I could sit at the listening position and click the button at various intervals (3 - 5 seconds generally) so going from A&g... 
Joule-Electra VAMP Integrated
Yeah me too. Regret never trying one.

@bdp24 - Eric this has truly been an eye opener. Roger can now do A/Bing on any number of amps. Fritz Heilor lives in the area recently donated a pair of speakers to us to use in a biamping experiment (Roger is impressed with his designs), so besi...

Regarding the A/B testing, while we began last weekend Roger spent the better part of the week optimizing the set up, no easy task said he. He has now been inviting folks over to listen and I took another stab at it today. This time I brought some...

@ct0517 - nice set up. I sometimes use my RM-10 with my ESL 57s in biamp set up. The Class AB amp I use for the bottom is a Luxman M-02. I use the Beveridge RM-3 (no remote) to crossover at 100 Hz, 4th order crossovers for both high and low pass. ... 
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
We get requests from folks who want their old RM-9s refurbished. One of the common side requests we get is to put in an IEC inlet in place of the captive power cord, which from Roger’s perspective is more than adequate for the job, of reasonable l... 
Best phono DIY kit
Too bad the K & K Audio kits are no longer available, that would have been a no-brainer.This one looks interesting though: http://glass-ware.stores.yahoo.net/aiphpcb.htmlAlthough a little above your price point Audio Note has a nice kit as wel... 
OTL Tube Amps and Full Range Electrostatic Speakers
We have a number of customers using the RM-200 with their ML speakers. It's an excellent amp for the job. OTLs can also sound great, if Atma-Sphere I would recommend the MA-1 which is 100 watts. I'd recommend putting the autoformer in between the ... 
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
I'd like to echo Roger's comment regarding the use of the term "hybrid" in reference to the RM-200. I also once thought of this amp in the same manner, but given my access to Roger I have the opportunity to not only listen to a lot of his designs ...

If I am a good guesser I would have to say that since wolf_garcia plays guitar and he has mentioned the Grateful Dead in a few of his posts the reference would be to the Doug Irwin Wolf guitar (known for the Dire Wolf inlay) made for Jerry Garcia.... 
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
Yes the Beveridge RM-1 with RM-2 power supply. A legendary component in my opinion with 2 phono inputs. Roger broke the mold with this one. If you have a chance to buy one get it, they show up for around $1000 on eBay. It will most likely need to ... 
What separate tube phono stage do you use ?
I use MM and MC with my MP-3. The MM is 3 mV and the MC 0.4 mV. Enough gain either way. I also don't load down my MC cartridge, never have loaded them really. It was something I picked up from Keith Herron who didn't have a MC load selection on th... 
Whats the FATTEST sounding Tube amp to warm up Lean speakers?
The Atma-Sphere OTLs and the Music Reference RM series of amplifiers are not going to "fatten" the sound, they are very flat and just get out of the way. As I mentioned on your other thread old Cary amps and as also recommended here old Conrad Joh... 
What is the most dramatic way of increasing a speaker's Bass and Low mid?
My friend and I preferred equipment that gave us a sound that was true to the source. So if you a looking for warmth, or what some might refer to as classic tube sounding, older Cary and Conrad Johnson amps/preamps would be worth seeking out. I on...
