| VTL Service ?? I have listened to the VTL MB-450 amps and they sounded verygood indeed, so I added them to my list of possible new amps. The favourable reviews and attitudes by TAS,made me feel even more convinced, that the VTL MB-450´s werea strong alternative.... | |
| Noise Filters & ferrite beads.... Probably it´s a good idea to put a noise filter before a switched power supply, but, as always,it´s hard to generalize; it depends of the characteristic of the filter and the frequences of the noise that the supply sends back to the net.I use seve... | |
| How can Audio shows be improved? Wouldn´t it be nice, if for an hour or so by each day of the show, a short program with e.g. a)a classical full orchestrial piece of music, b) a jazz tune with some vocalsand c) a rock or pop tune, could occur at the same time.If so, you could wa... | |
| Digital amp beat them all? Audio Physic Strada . I agree to that Albert, most measurments (on amps)doesn´t tell us much about how the amp actually sounds.Some well- reviewed amps that I have read about recently, have rather high figures of intermodulation distortion.Probably, the usual,static me... | |
| Digital amp beat them all? Audio Physic Strada . Sorry, correction;should be:to adjust or match the weight of the cartridge,its suspension,and the mass of the arm, so that they form a highpass filter, that rejects low frequency information like rumble and signals from warped records. | |
| Digital amp beat them all? Audio Physic Strada . Vinyl and 8 Hz reproduction? You get serious problems with warped records, then these sub-frequences, if sent furtherup the chain, will charge your amps in vain,and your wooferswill flutter.Marakanetz it´s a good idea, to adjust the weight of the ... | |
| Digital amp beat them all? Audio Physic Strada . I´ve heard the arguments before!There has to be ...because..To be more specific: there is an audio society here in Sweden called Ljudtekniska sällskapet "The society of sound technique". Their guru often has some splendid explanationsof why produc... | |
| Anyone heard the Gryphon Adagio? Heard it briefly at a show in Stockholm this winter,withGryphon Antileon Signature amplification and Matin Logan Prodigy speakers. I believe that it´s a very good product,I really liked what I heard (one of the best at the show), but the system pl... | |
| Digital amp beat them all? Audio Physic Strada . Well, according to the measurments in Stereophile,the monoblocks are down 1 dB at 100 kHz..I also make a translation from german to english, and quoteStereoplay:"Madonnas voice seems -while the other amps make it compar-atively cooler and more pal... | |
| Active crossovers There is an active crossover, that can be ordered in a 2-way or a three-way configuration,from the Australian companySymfonia.It´s called the Symfonia AC 1, and the company has a testimony from Duntech on their website,that Duntechfinds the AC 1 s... | |
| Levinson or Krell Seems like the consepts of amplifier design is into a phase where it is developing rapidly.Perhapes both the currentmodels from Krell and Levinson will be overtrawn by somecleverly designed digital amps. An exampel: the Germanmagazin Stereoplay re... | |
| Stupid Hi-fi advertising in Sweden.Help needed Well,perhapes "force them" wasn´t the best expression.More appropriate; "convince them". As commercial sitesought to be responsive to their visitors opinions,I´mmore optimistic about the possibility, for us,to influencethem.BTW, talking about Au... | |
| Jeff Rowland Amps? When bying Hifi gear, you have to pay for a lot of different "values".You pay for a certain brandname,for design,for the prestige of owning expensive equipment;the last declaration wouldn´t apply if the price of the product was diminished consider... | |
| Chord DAC 64 According to the Hi-fi Choice review, there was a lot of powersupply induced jitter from the Chord DAC 64.The RAM buffer wasn´t used during this measurment, I think.Chord has changed the powersupply of the DAC, to a switch-mode one, if I remember ... | |
| Audio Artistry Beethoven - anybody has heard? Heard them briefly at a reviewer´s home. Sounded clean andclear,I think they would be easy to live with,main problemthough, was the perspective,e.g. does any singer have a mouth that is two feet wide. That´s a common problem withdipol speakers. Ju... |
