| Talk but not walk? Just because it looks strange is no reason to assume it will sound good.Maybe it will sound strange.The Wizard of Oz was no wizard at all.Gandolf on the other hand......http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7M4frMcLFUI/VMe6K2zm-LI/AAAAAAAAALo/THJrf1gS57M/s160... | |
| Class D Ncore Atsah in the house Not all that many others have done much with the stock NC1200 amplifier module. David Reich at Theta used a LPS for his Prometheus monos and I believe Bel Canto designed buffers for the Black amps and also for amps they use with the much less exp... | |
| Like the new look to audiogon ? @samiamnot Classic View needs to be default and this new screwed up view needs to be the OPTIONGood idea not sam, you should apply for Chief Operating Officer.In all seriousness, if they take not sam's advice, and if they share the user names of... | |
| Like the new look to audiogon ? @mountz I say we stop buying for next little bit and see if they go back!Easy for me, since I don't need anything, but I do have a few things I was planning to sell - and will probably now wait.@uberwaltz I agree with you that US Audio Mart has ... | |
| Class D Ncore Atsah in the house @roxy54 I think maybe the top Jeff Rowlands might be an exception from things I've read.Guido thinks so, as do some others. I haven't heard them but would like to understand what Rowland did to mitigate the sort of unnatural staging/decay/ambie... | |
| Like the new look to audiogon ? @uberwaltz to hear potential buyers are leaving in drovesEven though I was making a music-reference joke, that statement is an example of panic. Do you have evidence that buyers are in fact leaving "in droves" or is it just the responses of the... | |
| Like the new look to audiogon ? Have to admit I have never seen such Widespread Panic to an Audiogon format change in the 20 years I have been hanging out here. Somebody said, they are getting the messageI sure hope so. | |
| Class D Ncore Atsah in the house @tweak1 "I find the newer kit very listenable, while providing considerably more bang for the buck."No argument with that statement, particularly about "bang for the buck," but that was always the strength of Class D. There is a pair of Atsahs on... | |
| Like the new look to audiogon ? Most here don't seem to like change. I have been here a long time and it seems that everytime Audiogon makes changes they believe will better the site, people cry foul, question their motives, whine, pout and threaten to leave forever because t... | |
| Class D Ncore Atsah in the house In response to your question, IMO, the tech did not quite match the expectation and the "realistic portrayal of the music" is where they did not stand the test of time. I really wanted the Ncores to be my "last amps" since I enjoyed everything ab... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? Tortuga does offer a tubed buffer. I tried it on their "tour" and it sounded pretty good. My Goldpoint passive along with the Tortuga buffer did not quite equal my SMc Audio unity gain buffered preamp, but the SMc piece is much more expensive.From... | |
| WI-FI ROUTERS and Modems. BEST!! brand and why. Happy with Orbi here.Plan to add another satellite and then run Ethernet directly from the satellite to another Roon endpoint for my outdoor system. | |
| Talk but not walk? @geoffkait "A rich audiophile has about as much chance of getting into audio nirvana as a 🐫 has of passing through the 👁 of a needle."Is audio nirvana a club? Is there a doorman? Do you have to bribe him with an mpingo disc or a shiny pebble or cr... | |
| Equipment rack with hollow tubes. In addition to damping ringing of the metal, it provides more mass, which many believe helps dampen vibrations and unwanted resonance. Sound Anchor uses sand to fill their very well-made steel stands.Star Sound sells Micro-Bearing Conductive Ste... | |
| Talk but not walk? @jf47t "MG and Geoff learn by actually doing," "MG and Geoff disagree on some of the absolutes but have found a way to allow isolation and mechanical transfer to live under the same roof," " Like with MG and Geoff we on this thread..."and furt... |
