| Has anyone compared Rogue RP-7 to Cary SLP05 and / or Audio Research Ref 5se? The Cary SLP05 is an extremely good preamp.My brother owned one.The mid model and above Suprateks [say Sauvignion 6SN7] are better however and about half the price.The Suprateks sound a bit similar but just a bit better in every area but especiall... | |
| Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant? The Cary SLP 05 is a very good sounding preamp.The mid level Supratek 6SN7 preamps like Supratek Sauvignon are a bit better however.And less than half the price.The difference being you are buying the Supratek direct from the maker and avoiding r... | |
| Is the Almarro 318B For Me?Any Others? The slightly constrained image depth is true.Thst is because the 318B was designed with a moderate amount of negatve feedback so it could drive/control most mainstream sort of speakers.Which also gives it quite tight bass by SET standards.So it is... | |
| A question for fans of Threshold amplifiers I really like my Usher R1.5.Which is a Threshold design. | |
| Are all amps being built wrong? Single malt whisky please.The Scots really dislike it being called Scotch. | |
| Are all amps being built wrong? All amps should come with variable feedback. | |
| How long is it taking to receive a preamp? You have to feel sorry for the makers.I ordered some capacitors from Madisound and sent by UPS and it took 13 days to get from Wisconsin to L.A..And we thought our postal service was slow! | |
| Are all amps being built wrong? It would be very interesting to learn about the intricacies of the Bakoon amplifiers.They are reputed to be current drive and have high output impedance and yet seem to be able to drive many mainstream speakers without problems although they defin... | |
| Are all amps being built wrong? Audioman and andrewkelly I believe you are confusing voltage drive amps that have high current delivery capability with current drive amplifiers.The two types are more like opposites.The first type can drive low impedance loads and tend to have hi... | |
| Are all amps being built wrong? Low output impedance probably also overdamps many speakers so you get the opposite effect of a loudness contour.Probably the main reason that many people prefer tube amps is that they have medium to high output impedance which do not overdamp spea... | |
| 100W+ solid-state amps known for beautiful mids Bakoon amplfiers have the most pure,detailed and natural sounding midrange I have heard.They sound neither warm nor cold and when you hear them aspects like that become irrelevant because they just sound right.They used to make 100 watt monoblocks... | |

| Most harsh/shrill sounding speakers (vintage) JBL Century L100.The worst sounding tweeters I have ever heard.Sizzle?More like the sound of somebody with a severe case of the shakes doing some arc welding. | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? I had the 50 watt monoblock 5515M on loan for a few months.They are what got me hooked on the Bakoon sound.As friend said you can’t unhear that sound.I agree the Bakoons excel at the musical and tonal flow.I have never heard an amplifier [well a K... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? No it was me with the Bakoon .You really need to hear a Bakoon amplifier rather than just a headphone amplifier.Even the very affordable 15 watt 7511 Mk3 will give you a good taste of the Bakoon sound.The Korean Bakoons look a lot nicer than the ... |
