[quote user="Paul S"]Don't worry about selling stuff you "don't like". To another Moron® it might be the Legendary Stuff of Dreams. Be honest about what it is; simply hold your current opinion.[/quote]I've just sold my Druids (took a £500 hit on wh...

I've played around with a couple of amplifiers that have variable output impedance, namely the Berning ZH-270 and Wolcott Presence P220M. The Wolcott Presence in particular is interesting, as the constantly-variable output impedance control can...

I am with you on this one. I am also very suspicious of gigantic, 4-chassis phono stages if only because I just wonder why the need for all those damn noisy parts, along with concommitment connections?So it really pisses me off to admit that th...

HiWell I am fairly new to active speakers. I've been in contact with Merlin and Guy in the UK about these type of speakers and their experiences. I'm just taking it all in and then going forward making a few mistakes and then learning about them!&nbs...

Sorry, Adrian, I did not hear either phono stage in my present system, nor did I A/B them, but I "compared" them in my "aural memory", with the actual listening sessions spaced several years apart. Back around the time of the FET 10, maybe a li...

Well, David Berning is about as clever as they come, Merlin, that's for sure, and you don't hear David making a lot of claims for his gear. That whole step-up, HF PS/carrier idea is pretty cool, all right; I think Carver did one, too, year...

May ask you: how you drive your Reds 10” and the most important do you feel any their deficiency in power handling. I mean after the 109dB Macondo I have tendency to drive the small Reds slightly hard and this LF drive do...

Thanks for the tech info, Merlin; it helps a lot, especially combined with the preferred music revelation, up the thread.I agree that the OPT figures in to the sound, all right, for better or for worse, and there is no mistaking the OTL "clarity" by ...

Firstly are your observations regarding the ZH270 relating to comparisons with other push pull designs or SET's?
Secondly could you explain which characteristics of the recording are destroyed, and what mechanism David Berning uses to acheive this...

Guys,
I really don't have the time to take you through the concept. Try to do some reading on the Berning Web site. Take a look at Dr Gizmo's thoughts on the product and his opinion as to the veracity of the claims.
You are looking at a patent...

Firstly, thank you to Montepilot, Paul S, KLegind, zanon and Romy for all your thoughts on the Zu Druids. I recently tried high-passing the Druids at various frequencies and using a pair of Wilson-Benesch Chimeras and various amps for LF and uppe...

As I recall, the small ATCs at THE Show were the 19's, with the "long-throw" version of their otherwise-spectacular, domed MF driver, which their larger drivers employ, along with a range of woofers. I think they make amps for "consumers" now, too, ...

With regards to the links, as it happens, I totally agree that 15in Tannoy Reds struggle to handle complex music. The crossover is too simplistic and the cones too hard to control with a low power amp. Reds can be lovely in a simple vintage system bu...

[quote user="drdna"] I felt I was listening to the clearest, most neutral, most transparent STEREO ever. But I never once relaxed and believed it was real I never thought "What was Coltrane thinking on that take?" or waited for the musicians to take ...

Floobydust,
excellent points as usually. I am not too concerned about the AC noise on my filament, at least at this point. I want to get the right “check and balance” operation of the whole amp (all channels together) and then will see how the...

I sound as moronic as it could be but I found myself straggling with new thing. I am experimenting now with a new AD/DA processor in my system and to my big surprise my addiction to the Synopsis digital cables is nailing me down.
As now I have 4 AES...

For the past few months, I’ve been looking for a solution to a problem – how to recreate through speakers the same sound that I get through headphones. Why did I embark on this quest? Well although I’m quite happy with my headphones, I miss being...

I think it is a simple case of different strokes for different folks.
Drdna writes about communicating the essence of sound - I write about the essence of music. He writes about wondering what Coltrane was thinking. I write about hearing him looki...

[quote user="manisandher"]This is very disappointing to hear.
But in a way, it makes little difference to me. I had decided that I would only use the PP2000 from battery power when listening to music (or making vinyl transfers to digital). I'v...
