| Amp circulation question Mr M- What, "heat issues" did you actually encounter(early failure, thermal sensor shutdowns)? Data sheets, on most electronic components, contain max design thermal info (http://ixdev.ixys.com/DataSheet/L187.pdf) (http://www.partsconnexion.com/PD... | |
| Amp circulation question You don't have a problem, at those temps. Adding fans, on location, will add noise. Enjoy your music! | |
| how high is the drop test at ups? Is there such a thing as, "Gorilla-Proofing?" I have only succeded in making packages, "Gorilla-Resistant", thus far. They do have a great tracking system though. | |
| Vintage Bogen Mono Blocks D070's- Interesting thoughts Frank. I don't recall ever hearing a Bogen amp, hooked up to any kind of High-End source(s) or speakers. I can't help but wonder; how many others have. Based on my experience(repairs/communication installs): Their circuitry wa... | |
| Neutral Sounding Silver Cables? Calgarian5355- It's a shame you can't avail yourself of The Cable Co's program. Perhaps a less risky proposition would be the Kimber KS-1121 or 1126, both combining silver and copper conductors. (http://www.kimber.com/products/interconnects/analog... | |
| Neutral Sounding Silver Cables? Ricred1- Did you directly compare the Silver Audios to either the Kimber KS-1030's or 1130's(the least expensive, all silver Selects)? If so- which Silver Audios? | |
| electrostats vs ribbon drivers Mrtennis- Many designs that incorporate ribbons, fail to properly blend the speed/dynamics of the tweeter, with the other system drivers(useually cones). Generally speaking; that makes the ribbon stand out as a separate/more obvious entity, even t... | |
| Neutral Sounding Silver Cables? Ricred1- I used Silver Audio's Hyacinth's for a number of years, between my pre, monoblocks & woofer amp. Did you ever try the Kimber Selects(either 1030's or 1130's), in comparison? I almost went to the Appassionata, but found everything I de... | |
| electrostats vs ribbon drivers "the senses are unreliable. witnesses to an event often present different versions of an event.""what you hear one day, you may not hear on another.""there is a myriad of experiemnets in the psycholgy journals, which discuss the unreliability of p... | |
| Neutral Sounding Silver Cables? I should have mentioned: Do yourself a favor and contact The Cable Company, to audition a pair of Kimber KS-1130's(or whatever else suits you) for yourself, via their Lending Library. There's a small fee, that will be applied to whatever you might... | |
| Neutral Sounding Silver Cables? I had used a number of cables between my BAT VK-D5 and pre, before settling on the Kimber KS-1130's(about 6 years ago). They simply let everything through(freq extension-both directions, without bloat, becoming sibilant or grainy/great sound stage... | |
| electrostats vs ribbon drivers Mrtennis- On what are you basing your assertion, that ribbons are, "hot?" | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... Mrtennis- How does Math, "sound?" (just kidding) I know Acoustics, Electronics and gear specs are all about Math, but- ANY two amps are going to differ in SOME measureable parameters. | |
| What does it take to qualify as a reviewer? I agree with most of what Elizabeth mentions. But- It is apparent that, in many cases, ears were NOT a prerequisite. | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... DEJA VU(Stereo Review)! Or perhaps, simply a plagerizing of some of Julian(stone-deaf) Hirsch's better columns(some were more hilarious than others). |
