Tom Evens Groove Plus

Congrats. I use the plus with my zyx universe. The synergy between Evans ZYX is great.

I'm with ya Uktel.

Phase flat and linear... and a noise floor that is in the basement. I have the Vibe/Pulse/Groove+/LinearA chain transmitting the analog signal through Meadowlark time aligned speakers.

The Tom Evans stuff can be ruthless, but when it works, it will make your chest heavy and stand the hairs up on your neck.

Uktel, I will be selling some serious stuff in the next few months in order to get the B's, That is fate. My speakers at 91.5 and at 4 ohms are begging me to get it done asap. They will then seriously open up. Hell, i might even be finished at that point....well, kinda.

Uktel,

I have though about twinning on Linear A's but will wait for the B's to get full benefit of that technology. (it is a pain sending those 75 lb boxes back and forth to Wales...)

Tell us more about the Pulse 2. I have seen or heard nothing on this.

Thanks

Uktel, thank you for bringing Tom for a visit.

Tom, that is exciting news on the pulse.

It is hard to imagine you could lower the noise floor even more, but you have done it in the past, and you keep doing it. There are times when the music plays over a background that is not only black, it is in an cool atmosphere of calm.

The power quality fluctuates a lot here is the states. That can have a major influence on sound, however, nighttime is usually the best time for good power off of the grid. I am two doors from the main substation for Dallas and it can be hell. The spikes and dips are notorious. I have quit leaving my system on all the time as two of Tom's boxes have been impacted. I now have Isoclean transformers and power filters in line and am working on a new panel and a large in line transformer for the panel. It is amazing how important the quality of power has become for me. Both as a problem (power grid) and a joy (Tom's work). I have heard of the power controller that Tom and Bob have out. Bob is a real analog fan and pioneer. I bought a turntable ring clamp from him a while back. His turntable is quite a feat.

It's amazing thing with the noise floor. the more it drops, the more I am pulled into the music. It's not lava I get out of my speakers, it is almost a vacuum, leaving only the darkness of space and a strong feeling of calm. The calm thing is not something I would expect with rock and roll but it is there. The clarity of each note and the spacial quality of the music places you in the environment of a circa 1970's outdoor concert under the stars.
