| SS amp with Merlins plinius ? EdorrIf you are concerned about tubes and your little one you may also want to consider the Transcendent OTL T8-LN 25 watter. The tubes are not open and exposed like many other tube amps. There is a top cover. The amp runs AB bias so it is not nea... | |
| "Fast sounding tube amp" with plenty of power? any? I would suppose that any OTL amp would be faster than any transformer coupled tube amp. I am using s Transcendent 25 watt OTL (this is the quietest amp I've ever heard, absolutely dead silent at the listening position) and I must say that the "rea... | |
| Moral Dilemma I would throw him a line with a some Spam or if handy maybe a bit of fatty pork tied on the end "Oh Allah, why do you test me so?" Why should it be my moral dilemma? I would make it his. Of course the line would probably slip out of my hands the m... | |
| Tenor Audio - Anyone hear them? I am intrigued by what I keep hearing concerning these amps. Where can they be auditioned? | |
| Pre amp for Merlin VSM se's and Transcendent Stereo 25 Matt I currently have mine hooked up through the tape loop on my pre-amp. I previously had it between the pre-amp and amp. I like it better through the tape. Certainly a matter of preference. | |
| Pre amp for Merlin VSM se's and Transcendent Stereo 25 I am using a CAT with excellent results. Why not try the Transcendent grounded grid at 400-500 used. Hard to lose if you don't require a phono stage. I haven't heard but good things especially at the price point. There is one for sale on Audiogon ... | |
| Why do people think I'm nuts involving audio? Sal I feel your pain. Seriously, I have gotten to the point that I just don't talk about it to anyone unless they express an interest. Years ago I was exuberant in my hobby and thought I could turn my music loving friends/acquaintances on to well ... | |
| Thinking of rcprince who works in Manhattan To Russ, Rayhall and all New Yorkers, my thoughts are surely with you all. In an event such as this one's perspective about everything is altered. I feel certain mine has forever and to those that actually lived through this, I just can't imagine.... | |
| SS or tube preamp? Which one? I recently became a ss guy and it came in a dream. A voice told me that I had been deluding myself all along. That it was time to wake up to reality and discover what music REALLY sounds like. Mr tubegroover you need to move forward and forget abo... | |
| What is your opinion regarding electrostatics? You guys just blew me away! This is the best thread I have come across since I've discovered this site. Thanks one and all for sharing your experiences. | |
| The infamous I always find it interesting that there is so much emphasis on gear and how much it costs in relation to benefit, diminishing returns and the like. What I don't see is much talk about where its going. Certainly gear on the order of magnitude of Al... | |
| EVS Millennium II Versus Bel Canto Dac 1.1 I have an opinion about the Bel Canto 1.1, it is smooth, very musical, more dynamic than the original with excellent resolution and it is a great product. Haven't heard the EVS. Why are there so many up for sale? Because there were many sold and p... | |
| Speaker dilema? Maggies, Newforms, or Merlins Its a funny thing that you should pop up on this thread Charlie as I was thinking of you and that maybe the Harbeths might be a real good substitute for Steve's Rogers 3/5 which even by todays standards ain't too shabby. I only wish I had 3 or 4 s... | |
| Speaker dilema? Maggies, Newforms, or Merlins Vince and Kurt echo my sentiments. When I first got into this hi-end business over 15 years ago I was much enamoured with the Maggies (2.6). The only problem I had with them was I didn't have the room to let them shine, they didn't have the dynami... | |
