| Backert Labs preamp, now a New Power Amp Andy at Backert uses my ArgentPur Monoblocs, and Bob Backert is possibly introducing my Ag internal wiring as he likes the improvements. If you need a LOT of power (250/8 and 500/4) the Monos are %5900/pr, or as an identical single chassis stereo... | |
| slightly pushed in softdome tweeter on Fritz speaker Despite the warnings, I've used a fine sewing needle with a tiny drop of superglue attached to the dent. Then simply pull the dent out, and finallyTWIST the needle to break the tiny seal. Reading glasses help. | |
| Need a new CD player. Suggestions please. I appreciate this thread. My ref CDP is my trusty brutalist (40lbs!) Electro EMC-1 UP. However, I want to reintroduce CD playing in audio shows I will exhibit with my ArgentPur amps and cables and a partnering speaker-maker. So I just purchased a ... | |
| Debate: Class D amps need 48 hours of warmup My response last night didn't post, so I'll try again: I agree with Ralph et al that cool-running Class D amps don't require long warmup before playing perfectly. That said, my earlier career in lab equipment design and manufacture suggests that ... | |
| Power cord for Aurender N20? My good friend Richard Colburn (ex AQ and Audience) used Aurender with my affordable ($1k 1.5M) ArgentPur PC15 solid silver cable, claiming the performance was superior to anything he'd tried before his passing last fall. Same with my ICs and Spea... | |
| Gallium Nitride GaN Class D Amplifiers After querying attendees at my ArgentPur table at CAF last month, it seems that there's a pretty equal split between users who prefer separate monos that can park easily near speakers, vs the more traditional placement of a stereo amp on a central... | |
| Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation with Plinius Hautonga Hi Ozzy. I have two pairs doing review and demo rounds (PTA recently and Howard Milstein/Doug Moore soon). We're awaiting machine shop delays in finishing the next 5 pairs later this month, alas. Since my final tweaking with fancy Mundorfs was w... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? Thanks. Just confirmed a Dutch hacker messed up my website buddy's sites. Should be fixed by Friday latest. Sigh. Feel free to reach out at [email protected] in the meantime, or call me at 781 526 3860 anytime. ErnieM | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? Really? Did you try ArgentPur.audio RSVP. Thanks. ErnieM | |
| Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation with Plinius Hautonga Well I can't resist suggesting that you try my new ArgentPur GaN-FET Monoblocs debuting next month, as they've been developed in use with my ref system which has my beloved Parsifals! For decades I used Pass Labs monos, but have become smitten by ... | |
| Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation Hi ozzy. I've enjoyed my Parsifal Encores for decades. Following consultation with Julien Pelchat re the 25th Anniv mods, I copied most of them to arrive at improved performance. First, DO replace the 3/4" granite plate with a 1" aluminum one yo... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? And so the parade starts.... I have huge respect for Ralph, Michal and Leo...but as well the positive aspects of careful modifications. After living with the Orchard Audio ULTRA amps for a couple of years (they quickly supplanted my Pass Labs Mo... | |
| can you help me narrow my speaker cables short list please? Buy a roll of white Techflex. | |
| The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in" An anecdote: Back in the 70s I was charged with manufacturing and calibration of microvolemtric lab equipment to the 6th place (microgram by mass). We decided to mold the bodies of these handheld piupetters and dilutors out of PFVD, a remarkably ... | |
| Speaker Cable Right on, skeotical. Canare StarQuad is similar, and great for less-important surround speakers' long lengths and other budget-sensitive projects. For affordable premade I have respect for Kimber's 4/8TC. No experience with the MUCH-cheaper to ma... |
