    Re: Go Figure... Tubes

    I find it odd how no one opens windows in Florida. We were visiting my mother in law this winter. It was 68 to 74 most days and nights. She has all the windows closed and runs the AC. At night...

    Re: Go Figure... Tubes

    Seattle is perfect tube country. Not too hot. Not to cold, accept last week it was 15 degree. I only have about a week out of the year I wont run my stereo.

    FWIW, each 55 watt monoblock is around 70 lbs. Massive amounts of Monolith iron. Heavy stainless case. They are larger than you think.

    Re: Sound, Systems & Synergy

    I think we all know to some degree there is a level of quality that needs to be maintained across equipment. And that the weakest link will drag it all down. At one point in time I was rolling...

    I have tried a few. CJ Premier 140, Rogue, Audion 845, Altec 1570B, Atmasphere Class D, Dartzeel NHB108.

  8. Re: Best Pure Musical Amplifiers (power not important)

  9. Re: Best Pure Musical Amplifiers (power not important)

    I personally like tubes. I think about a VAC 200iQ at times. But I really am more impressed with what a SET does. Unfortunately they have issues like many other topology. Especially in my price...
  10. Re: Best Pure Musical Amplifiers (power not important)

    That's not the Atmasphere.
  11. Re: Best Pure Musical Amplifiers (power not important)

    A friend loaned me the Atmasphere Class D mono amps. I was pretty shocked it was hard to tell them apart from my Dartzeel NHB108 model 1 amp. They are very good SS style amps.

    My post might seem political, but its hard to talk about a utility that is generally a monopoly in a region, and that monopoly is directed on how it operates by government bodies. Its very political...

    Re: Are they going to destroy audio?

    In the USA, so far they are looking at electrical usage by mandating high efficiency heat pumps and hyper sealed living structures. Which as expected is resulting in a lot of illness and disease...

    Yes, we both had a vision to bring better audio to people. We just have our own paths.
