Musical Fidelity K550 Supercharger

Wwshull,
The SET sound is quite addicting, but when that extra wattage is needed for prodigious transients, SET does not have it. I don't know if any tube set has it, for that matter. I wouldn't sacrifice my SET sound for the extra power. For $5k, not unreasonable considering my rig, I can have my cake and eat it too. So it seems. I am waiting for a first hand listening experience of this baby to motivate me to have a go at the wife: again!!

seems if you like your sound so much why would you want to change it. adding these things i think would change the sound you like so much

wwshull,
How do you know the superchargers will change the sound if you haven't tried them.You're a guesser which is probally what you do the best...a 2 cents'er.

That alone tells me you have no clue what you are talking about.Bla,Bla,Bla.I'll keep your thinking in mind.
According to the Fremer review in Stereophile (They Don't) change the sound...Hence my question to users that might have tried them or are using them!! can they agree with the reviewers comments.So lets leave it up to the real thinkers/users who tried or use them.

Warren:When are you going to get to give them a demo???Is a dealer getting them in for you?My tube amps are push/pull.

At this time I'm really not thinking seriously of doing a demo. Living near the Big Apple, I don't think it would be hard to give these babies a whirl, but..and that's a big but, we're still talking $5k plus two power cords and jumper cables? We're talking close to $6.5k. Too much at this time. 500 watts of quality SET sound that I have now? Keeps me itching, but not nuts for the move. I'll see as time goes by. If I could get the wife to go for that kind of money, I would have a hard time not upgrading my Definition 1.5s to the new Definition 2s. go figure...

I am using the superchargers with my Lamm 2.1's and VR-9 speakers. It maintains the tonal qualities of the Lamm but with greater dynamics, better bass definition. The imaging and soundstaging is improved. My only criticism would be slight loss of finess in the extreme treble, but this is being very picky. Overall, it is Lamm on steroids. I love the sound of my Lamms and wondered what they would sound like with more power. The Lamm ML-3's will be $140,000. This was a cheaper alternative for me.They are a definant improvement.All that have heard it agree. Be sure to use the 16-0hm tap.
