| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi Coli, could you explain the word "incorrect" as referred to your former Direct Stream DAC? G. | |
| New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE Spoke with John Stronczer, he confirmed that REF600 has an internal 27/33db dip switch. According to him, the higher gain may be particularly indicated when the amp is driven directly from some lower gain DACs.John has also confirmed that each REF... | |
| New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE Sebastian, gain option is featured on the official product specs listed on the device page. I suspect that if the switch were a no-op because of some inherent NCore limitations, Mr. Stronczer would not have bothered with it... But I will ask him d... | |
| New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE Hi Audiozen, I'll try to find out what NCore module there is inside REF500. As for power supply, I have heard that each mono chassis sports its own Hypex NC1200/700 SMPS, which is powerful enough to support even the full blown 400W 38A peak curren... | |
| Theta Prometheus Monoblock vs Bryston 7BSST2 Hi YYZSantabarbara, a comparison of Veritas and Prometheus would make interesting reading.... But it is more likely that you will continue to find reviews that are targeting one product at a time.... You might need to continue drawing your own com... | |
| Theta Prometheus Monoblock vs Bryston 7BSST2 I concur with Bill, Bel Canto has a superb track record with class D amps. Their older REF1000 Mk.2 was an absolute sonic jewel at an attractive price.REF600 is not based on NCore NC1200 like Veritas and Prometheus, but on a yet unnamed NCore tric... | |
| Theta Prometheus Monoblock vs Bryston 7BSST2 Hi Santabarbara, I have not heard the Theta Prometheus yet, but I own and love the Rowland M925 NCore NC1200 monoblocks ($56K/pair), and have reviewed the lovely Merrill Veritas NCore NC1200 monos ($12K/pair) for Positive Feedback:http://positive-... | |
| Jeff Rowland battery preamp - powercord influence? Hi Breezer, I have no experience with older Rowland battery-powered pres, but have used Criterion for several years, until just about a year ago.By definition, when Criterion was on battery power, the power cord had no effect on the sound. What is... | |
| New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE Hi Sebastian, now I understand.... And I agree completely with you. If a component is particularly neutral, the components upstream and downstream will be somewhat more responsible for imparting a "desired" or "undesired" flavor to the output.In m... | |
| New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE Sebollo, M22 and Bel Canto Ref600 are completely different designs... Different manufacturer, different circuits, and likely different modules. I would not venture to guess sound of REF600 based on listening to M22.In general, NCore tends to have ... | |
| Another Exciting... Rob, keep us posted! G. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD All, the name of the VA music speaker in German is "Die Muzik", rather than "Der Muzik".... Muzik in German, French, Italian, and Spanish is a feminine noun, not masculine. Hence... "Die Muzik". G. | |
| Another Yes Mr.D, prima face encounters with reality can be on occasion subtly deceptive. In our particular instance, the taxonomy of the device under consideration would place it withinthe the citrus family of fruiting plants, and most likely to that gen... | |
| Another Mr.D, RHansen's amp appears to be prone to failures. The tendency to such behavior has been remarked elsewhere and elsewhen on Agon for the Kryptobrand in question. It is unlikely that such regretable disposition is influenced by room geometry or ... | |
| New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE Hey Audiozen... Good find! I'll have to check this Bel Canto REF600M baby out.Meantime, here is the REF600M home page:http://www.belcantodesign.com/eOne/products/amplifiers/ref600m-amplifier/Best, Guido |
