merlin with conrad johnson?

hi bobby!

(I have asked him of course before, so this his public answer detailed elsewhere before: Thanks!)
I notice, Einstein does not appear in this equation? I suppose it is too early, as it has been just a year since they appeared in the states, whereas in europe they have been long acclaimed. Anyway, I do have three different sets of speaker cables, which I want to weed out as well: straight wire rhapsody, einstein, and a handmade sven boenicke cable, which is basically one solidcore, comparable to DNM reson.
Source should really stay the bow. It is very able, if a tad full at the bottom. Nice pace.
hi dgarretson, so I thought! Interesting setup you have. I might hold on to my bass correction system just to see how it fares, even though i actually want to get rid of it: My Stella Novus woofer is essentially what later became a Velodyne DD15, all there except for the added software compatibility. BUT - my aim has been to simplify life. chuck away useless things - and a woofer is quite useless for a violinist like me ;-)

well here I am with the berning, having sold my stella speakers in order to make space for the merlins. The surprise will all be mine, i suppose. I have checked the berning in the studio (on a sota sovereign analysis system, which is quite inefficient, so no direct comparison, and that is very promising.

Hello, the einstein is called "the absolute tune" which seems somewhat absolute to me, but it does deliver; I am not a technician, it is an ciclotron-OTL design making 50 watts, and not output tubes: it actually uses one mosfet per channel, but has four 6922 in the prestage. egidius
