| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Grey9hound, Thanks for the article. Makes sense. Still, I find relatively small subjective differences after break in, with components and cables. A big exception was the Nordost Frey 2 XLR interconnects, which were crystal clear at first and th... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! eziggy,Right. You could say that ML stats are accurate, which is the same as unforgiving. I just wouldn't go so far to say that bad source = bad experience. On my Audiostatic 240 stats, I can certainly hear the flaws of a particular recording, ... | |

| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! jafox,Thanks for your detailed descriptions of your experiences. I now better know your tastes. My first good speaker was the Maggie Tympani 1D which I loved for its spaciousness and good accuracy. Then I realized that electrostatic transducers... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I have not tried the Torus, but I tried another isolation transformer. It was heavy with 2 15A AC outputs. A minimal debatable improvement. But the Denali 6000 is a MAJOR improvement, as WC and others also noted. It is well worth the price. T... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! WC,One thing which is clear is the benefits of the Denali, which I have said yields bigger differences than many power chords. I just have the 6000 which I use for all components, and never had the need for the additional 2000 which is dedicated ... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I agree with jafox. DA converters have evolved to a common high quality, but the differences between DAC products have a lot to do with their analog output stage and power supplies. For those familiar with turntables, tonearms and cartridges, th... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! WC,I urged techno_dude a while back to try the Shunyata Denali 6000. At home, my Denali is a big improvement, much more than any Shunyata power cord. The Denali creates better focus and detail across the freq spectrum. Images are thinner, which... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! lhasaguy,Totally agree, especially how live music fundamentally differs from all hifi. Also, you can buy high value products like Mytek, Benchmark, Emotiva, Plinius, Oppo, etc., even at retail prices, as WC and others have found. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Sound quality is mostly related to creative thinking behind the design. Expensive things are related to parts quality and count, weight, which don't necessarily correlate with sound quality. WC has discovered this with a few pieces. On the 1st ... | |
| Merrill Audio Element 116 Review jmjohnson,Thanks. The demo units were probably broken in. You were smart to listen to the demo units. The real test will be how your new units break in. Keep us posted. | |
| Merrill Audio Element 116 Review jmjohnson,Thanks for your E 116 review. It appears that you have listened for about a week. Regarding break in, have you noticed any changes so far? Please update your impressions after a month or more. No doubt you are spreading the word to y... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! grey9hound,I think it is quiet here because WC is having the dealer break in one of his Odins. Maybe this is all good because he can just relax and enjoy what he has before making quick changes. Also a good time to consider cheaper but still exc... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! dasign,Right. What are the tonal characteristics that you hear with the Acoustic Zens? It seems that since we cannot correlate sound with known specs on any cable, auditioning is necessary. Variations in specs and distortions with frequency may... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Dasign,Yes, cable winding geometry and its consequent E/M field pattern is the big unknown factor. Perhaps this can be described in terms of familiar measurements of inductive and capacitive reactance, which vary with frequency. My knowledge of ... |
