Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp?

The new versions are called X-10s and the amp is on its third version or Mark III. This truly provides holograph imagine unlike anything I've heard before. On symphonic orchestras, one can hear the first violins. I have never heard an amp sound this precise.

In reality, I doubt if any amplifier can rival it. I certainly have never heard any that do so. Every album is so involving.

The preamp has yet to get a remote but is nevertheless, quite striking.

Yes, I too have given up on isolation after experiencing the Star Sound Technologies Audio Points and other devices.

I am also guilty of experiencing the TriPoint Troy Signature and the Thor SE grounding cables. 

I also gave up on thing bits are bites, that total harmonic Distortion matters, that bass traps are worth a damn, that record cleaning does matter nor static is unimportant on non-ferrous material, that you are not affected by sounds over 20k Hz, etc.

If you took your Machina Dynamica and direct coupled all of them they'd be more Dynamica. Tom

That's what I did.  I direct coupled all of them.  HEL-loo!  Do you think I fell off the potato truck yesterday?

Oh Geoff

Direct mechanical coupling ..no bed springs in between no rubber in between.
Matching material speed and material shape is a part of maintaining signal continuity. Maintains Dynamica instead of reducing Dynamica.  Tom
