Master Clock Experience with Esoteric GO-s?
Kops, both G0S and G0Rb are Rubidium clocks.

Rumadian thank you, your post is very helpful. Stltrains, please tell us more about the relative strengths of the New Force amps you own. What other devices have you compared them to? In what music do they excell, and why? 
Review: Spectron Musician III Signature Edition Amplifier
Zaikesman, that is exactly what Rowland contends: If I remember correctly my conversation with him, Jeff suggests  that by driving actively the 2nd conductor on the speaker wire, he can control tightly the return excursion of the speaker drivers, ...

Stltrains, my amps are 2 20 years old JRDG 7M golden giants, and I am starting to get an education in view of upgrading, hence my presence on this and other related threads. I am intrigued by potential of class D/T. Yet I am a seeker, never a 'bel...

Hi Rumadian, have you had occasion of comparing the latest NewForce and H2O Signature 150 or any other class D/T amp? What are your impressions? Do you see any 'giant killer's in any of the new technology amps?

Thank you for the info Ggil!!!AudioOracle, given my prior quotation and the following you wrote:"The Nuforce Version 2 amplifiers are a true breakthrough, compared with amplifiers which are four times the price the Nuforce in most respects sounds ...

I just love the caginess of all these pseudo findings like "competes favorably with amps 4 times its price." And of course, our most audiophillically morbid curiosity having been duly peaked. . . we will be kept hence and forever in the dark. Who ... 
Review: Spectron Musician III Signature Edition Amplifier
Thank you Simon, I won't even venture to guess which amp would be more of my liking--JRDG 312 or Spectron Musician Sig--as I have not even heard the latter at all, and I would need to a/b the two to form an even half educated opinion, regardless o... 
Spectron Musician III Signature vs VTL Siegfried?
Duly noted Farmersre. Unfortunately comparisons with 'mystery' amps' are not noticeably helpful nor are they particularly credible, until the veil of mystery is lifted, identities are revealed, and some detailed findings are offered. Please tell u... 
Review: Spectron Musician III Signature Edition Amplifier
Simon, You are clearly very proud of the Spectron amp, and I respect that. If Spectron engineering opted for a designed which is balanced in the input stage and single ended in the output stage, I am comfortable believing that they made the best d... 
Spectron Musician III Signature vs VTL Siegfried?
Thank you Dob. I was actually asking about Spectron presence at the Denver Rocky Mountain Audiofest, rather than CES. Do you know if any speaker manufacturers would be featuring Spectron there? 
Review: Spectron Musician III Signature Edition Amplifier
Thank you Simon. Yes Jeff Rowland Design uses the ICE chips. JRDG 312 has been designed as fully balanced because Mr. Rowland judged that an optimal and true fully balanced topology benefits the sonic properties of all his designs, including his n... 
Review: VTL TL 6.5 Tube preamp
Thank you Marc! Have you already tried the Valhalla. It tends to create a very slender midrange which I do not find to be congruent with unamplified bowed strings. 
Review: VTL TL 6.5 Tube preamp
Bloody absolutely magnificent analysis Mark! While I am a proud owner of Ref 3, I knew VTL 6.5 was a winner when I heard it PSCIALLI's place. I can only hold the admittedly unjustified hope that the comparative weakeness you perceived in Ref 3 mid... 
Review: Spectron Musician III Signature Edition Amplifier
Spoke today to Jeff at JRDG. Apparently the 312 amp is balanced both at the input and the output, while my old JRDG 7M has balanced input but a single ended output, with one of the two conductors in the speaker wire acting purely as ground. I am n...
