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

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? 

no goats, no glory

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

Hmm machina dampica?    Got a nice ring to it.

Sorry, my way is better. Way better. Apparently you never received the memo about isoaltion. Didn’t you hear the news about gravity waves? They couldn’t have detected them with isolation. By directly coupling only you create a pathway for the seismic and other structureborne vibration to come up into the electronics. And we know that can't be right!  Duh! How long has it been since the Vibraplane was introduced to unsuspecting audiophiles?  Twenty years?  I guess not everyone got the memo. When you guys stovepipe your projects sometimes you miss all the good stuff. You have to do both - isolation and direct coupling. Better head back to the drawing board.
