| Puriifi vs. Pascal? I own both but my Purifi unit has a custom gain stage and input buffer built by AmpDude. Sonically, at least to my ears on my system which has a high level of detail, the Pascals have a softer/warmer presentation, and the Purifi's to me are simply... | |
| Are Preamplifier’s Relevant Today or just a Hinderance with Digital Playback ? One must always be careful to not construe personal anecdote as absolute That's fair, for me, increasing the SNR by simplifying my system has made the blacks, blacker, which has(in my opinion) increased spatial cues and placed musical instrumen... | |
| Are Preamplifier’s Relevant Today or just a Hinderance with Digital Playback ? So you are saying that running through a bunch of resistors, transformers and caps, to say nothing of connectors and extra sets of wire/wire's doesn't colour the sound by comparison to running direct?? I mean really?? I get it if you need multiple... | |
| Are Preamplifier’s Relevant Today or just a Hinderance with Digital Playback ? I personally like to run direct, and prefer that sound, from the source, direct. One fellow that I personally admire as I believe him to be quite forward in thought is Bruno Putzey's, in this interview with Darko he talks about pre-amps ~ the 12-1... | |
| Why so few speakers with Passive Radiators? No, not at all, Tidal, Vimberg, Kaiser, Marten simply don't know what their doing, and Purifi developed a PR for their new drivers because they don't have a clue either!! It's obvious that these cost no object manufacture's who rely on measurement... | |

| Wild anecdote on variables in a listening room / studio (from Darko) Actually, it's not a game, it's a sport!!Don | |
| Do active speakers interest you? Also, let's talk directivity There are some great new/refined technologies coming in early 2021 that will be game changing for active speakers/speaker manufacturers, however I have little faith that the audiophile community will be willing to except or adopt them. Fortunately... | |
| Do active speakers interest you? Also, let's talk directivity Aerogel for dampening perhaps?? probably too expensive for most companies to even consider but looks very positive, I just ordered some 8mm to try in a bass enclosure. | |
| GR Research NX-Extreme As a note, Jay runs the GR Super 7's which is an OB speaker based on the GR Neo 3's, and the B&G Neo 10's, with 2 servo subs in the lower part of the speaker, a unique design that takes up a smaller footprint. His speakers used House of Kolor ... | |
| All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?! Every time I read Highend saying that he's not associated with said brand I feel sick as it's simply not true, and yes they will be better than Tekton in every possible way, the engineering alone is light years ahead.

| Discussion of Class D Amps Application & Experiences Listening99-running some pascal X Pro 3's just now and love them, no real weak spots. Have also ran Purifi's, Ice 1200's and the Orchards within the last 6 months as i'm working on an all active speaker system.-Purifi's & Orchards seem more si... | |

| Removing a ZERO from the price of amps Had a chance to listen to Mikes (Mivera) new integrated amp yesterday which also uses the Purifi modules, absolutely stunning sound and will easily challenge separates in the 50K range, it's amazing what a no holds bar kit can do. I'm happy for th... |
