| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Line Magnetic is a different case with some of their models. The 219ia and 508ia are genuine high quality sounding amplifiers. As always YMMV.Charles | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! WC, Realism is used consistently in your description of the MAC 2301 sonic character. I interpret this to mean a more convincing sense of live musicians presence and less reproduced or electronic /Hifi character. Is this what you mean or am I inf... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I’ve had the opportunity to hear Rogue and ARC amplifiers directly compared in a showroom a feds years back. Rogue is decent and a solid value but it isn’t on the same tier as the ARC REF amplifiers in my opinion. There is a performance gap betwee... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Viber6,I appreciate your very kind comments and as stated earlier I personally find your perspective and thread contributions quite worthy and stimulating. It is apparent that a brief deviation from the thread topic is annoying to some participant... | |
| Low power tube amp for Sonus Faber? Audiothesis, Thanks for the additional amplifier information, it confirms what I suspected. All design and built parameters of a power amplifier have to be considered. 50 watt amps of the caliber of this Mastersound Evolution can manage speaker lo... | |
| The Truth about Modern Class D There are listeners who like Eric will hear no difference between class D and non class D amplifiers. Other listeners such as stereo5 can and do hear distinct differences. Both groups are valid.Charles | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Viber6,Thank you for your reply. "Playing the game" has more influence than innate musician talent? That's regrettable as well as disappointing. I'm much more involved and knowledgeable about jazz than classical music. When listening it is so appa... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Hello viber6, Your posts are interesting and provoke thought. You wrote that big name musicians often sound mediocre and that the better sounding musicians struggle to make a living. My question is why aren't the better musicians recognized for th... | |
| Low power tube amp for Sonus Faber? The problem is that you can’t just go with arbitrary power/watt numbers to decide, it isn’t that simple. Two amplifiers can have identical watts and yet be in some cases vastly different in performance and drive capability. This is what Garcia was... | |
| Low power tube amp for Sonus Faber? Hi ei1001h,I can understand your fondness for the Mastersound 845 as they can sound simply gorgeous with the ’right’ speaker match. You’ve received some good replies. 1. George makes a compelling point in regard to the load demands of your speaker... | |
| Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 Stereo5,If snackeyp doesn't ultimately prefer the Lyngdorf to his Prima Luna he will occupy a rare position. Based on owner feedback the Lyngdorf exceeds nearly all previously owned components. Room perfect seems to be a very significant factor f... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! WC, I believe you’ll find the BHK to be a very good value and worthy amplifier (possibly competitive with the incoming Pass Labs 200,8). My gut feeling is that neither will equal the level of realism and naturalness you’re hearing from the MAC 230... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Olesno, That was a thoughtful and wise rebuttal. Charles | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! "There is nothing sweet about the sounds of nature" One problem with High End audio is a vocabulary where there are no precise or clearly defined words/terms. So individuals are free to use words that can be interpreted differently when communicat... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! No attempt to redefine the term neutral. My point is how does one determine a component is neutral relative to competing components? WC said that the Boulder lacked soul. He isn’t the first listener to make this type of istening observation in reg... |
