| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps @mitch2 your last bullet point is very relevant. We have amplifiers in use by customers that are now at their oldest over 40 and at their youngest nearing 30 years of age. We have seen similar issues with an input circuit board that over the years... | |
| Audio Note Speaker Kits No cabinets with that kit on eBay but it's possible Brian at ANK could provide a set or build your own. I was in the same position as the OP some months back. I was ready to purchase a kit from ANK when I was informed that the cabinets were availa... | |
| Fritz Carrera or other possibilities! Fritz Speakers are under rated and under priced in my opinion. I have done a number of audio shows with Fritz and his speakers image extremely well and have a very smooth load making them compatible with many amplifiers, including a 300B SET ampli... | |
| David Berning live @lancelock here is I wrote: In my opinion, David Berning is one of the top audio engineers of our time. Mark Schneider on the other hand did not impress me at all. Here is what you wrote: @clio09 so you’re not impressed with David Berning’s ... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll @dekay I use an Atma-Sphere Class D amplifier to drive Quad ESL 57s (15-ohm nominal) with no issues. | |
| David Berning live My Quadrature Z monoblocks have a base that Steve designed. It’s made of copper and provides a multi-layer damping and ground system. This feature is available through Rick Brown at Hi-Fi One who represents the Berning product line. Steve is one ... | |
| David Berning live @dodgealum No I didn’t miss that and I think it’s great that David Berning’s technology can reach more people. However, in my opinion, there are distinct differences between Berning components and LTA components. I also don’t agree with your comm... | |
| Experience With Linear Tracking Turntables I owned a couple of the B&O tables with linear tracking arms in the past (3300 and 8002) as well as the Technics SL-10. While I was very happy with all 3 tables, I kept going back to my direct drive tables with pivot tonearms, but like @lewm I... | |
| David Berning live Being a member of SFAF I was able to attend this virtual meeting and can say that it was a very educational experience. In my opinion, David Berning is one of the top audio engineers of our time. Mark Schneider on the other hand did not impressive... | |
| Which LS3/5a? Spendor made them too. FWIW Roger Modjeski owned the Chartwell version. | |
| Audio Note DAC Owners- please share your thoughts I also own the ANK 4.1x, stock parts but some upgraded tubes. Part of the enjoyment was just the fact that I built this DAC. I have never compared my kit to an original Audio Note DAC, wouldn't pay the price tag on them as digital is not my primar... | |
| A DIY Swarm-based Distributed Bass Array for SOTA Bass I know Fritz and enjoy his speakers. Bass response is very good. The goal of a distributed bass array is to get smooth and fast bass, not necessarily deeper bass. The Acurus could do the trick and power the bass drivers. Use an active crossover li... | |
| Congratulations Atmasphere! @grannyring, I use the Atma-Sphere MP-3. | |
| Congratulations Atmasphere! Having had the Class D amps in my system for a couple months now it's my opinion a hybrid version isn't necessary. As I hear it, the design exhibits the best of what tubes, OTLs, and Class D has to offer. I've mentioned this to others including Ra... | |
| Killer vintage 70's, 80's reel to reel to add to my setup. If you want to throw $20,000 at it: https://sonorusaudio.com/atr10 This deck is based on the Revox PR99 chassis. It uses a combination of original parts and new parts. As an alternative, you could just get the cleanest PR99 you can find and send ... |
