Rony,
There are two possibilities as I can see them.
First is that your new hybrid amp just simply better then you former amp. Between us in case of Threshold, Jeff Rowland or McIntoshes it would not be so hard to come by to a better am, not to me...

Over the years there have been occasional reviews of low powered SS, but mostly in passing because they undercut (by sounding better) the bigger SS amps whether by the same vendor or others. Yes many years ago I had a low powered semi faux hybrid Jol...

My preferred type of speaker is a full range ribbon, though I've always had a monkey/Tannoy on my back which is surprising as I don't really care for box speakers. I've heard many over the years but I was never really that impressed but wan...

I have a conversation yesterday that encouraged me to think again about the Zarathustra II project. This 250W of pure class “A”, 90A capable hybrid is sitting under my bad horns. All parts are there and the amps 90% built… I need to finish it. It was...

"Indeed for classical work I often find a slightly under damped bass response to be emotionally evocative and of benefit to the illusion of the acoustic"Have you looked at the primary cause of this issue with most SET amps? I can tell you that ...

Since I "forgot" to mention it before, the very interesting amp I mentioned up the thread is the Nat Audio Generator monoblock, a Serbian PP triode/SS hybrid of some sort. Now that I have the MA-9S2s, there is no reason for me to check back on t...

Well, one way or another I will fix my B2 amp. I think while I have no bass amp it would be a good idea to try other amps for ULF: powerful tube amps or even class D amps. I do not have inspiration to dry Class D amps and I have no powerful tube amp...
|
|
N-set, at this point I am under impression (not conviction however) that a hybrid with some kind of harmonic correction circuit can do the job but spend much less blood. I have to admit that the best hybrids that I head had (Lamm M1.1) no where remot...

If anything, I have already laid out too much "background" or "context" including my likes, dislikes, whatever, at this long-suffering site. The idea here has nothing to do with anything other than getting "acceptable" sound more often than I do...

Hello Romy!I suspect that Sony intentionally astablished a poor conversion algorithm, as well. I don`t think there more than a hand full SACDs that have a separately recorded/mastered PCM layer, maybe some more that use an other (non-Sony) ...

[quote user="HDTT"]Romy have you tried Samplitude extensively, I have both Wavelab and samp prefer samp.Also with version 10 with Hybrid engine believe or not it is noticeably cleaner than older version noticed itright off the bat. Wavelab is good bu...

Yes, my DSET is fundamentally the same as yours with 6 channels, three fullrange, 1627a for Channel C. The largest difference is probably that my DHT channel has its own B+.My preamp is quite different though, being a hybrid based on 10y. It has a ...

I have read about but not heard the transformer RIAAs and the "No R" version (or was it "no C"?), and I have seen some fairly ingenious ways to try to keep impedance at a constant 600 Ohms. But the 10k does pique my interest, because now w...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Interesting. with sealed 280 sq feet and 8 drivers per side along a long wall you very much migh be able to use a singe 6C33C. With proper loading, good trasformer, DSET and these drivers you should be able to get bass that...

Yes , the idea of time delay machine is completely clear now . I made some experiments with analog and digital parts of the circuit , ewerything OK , and I need to assemble all the parts together , but now I am finishing the new hybrid class A amp - ...
|

OK, I managed to get to the "fully mono" experiment done pretty quickly. The single speaker made a more "compact" sound that stuck more closely to the speaker, itself, despite "increased" ambient cue "saturation".No surprise, I happen to prefer my o...

If LF are sealed, I would suspect that the strong SS/hybrid would be better able to keep the drivers "off the air cushion". When the drivers get to that point I hear something I would describe like this: Take your fingernail and...

Here is another interesting hybrid. The gain stage is made around 5842 tube, most likely with feedback and the current stage is SS reportedly single-ended and in class A. They claim 150W, if it is in Class A and without PP then frankly I do not see ...

first i should say i need more time to judge the Audiopax for some reasons but i try to share the first thing come to my mind after listening to Audiopax.
I should say i use Pure Power 3000+ , I mean i judge Audiopax when it is c...

Since the 2007-2008 alchemic music season and consequentially live FM season was over (the event I marked with my “End of the live Phonostage”) I have been spinning a lot of vinyl lately. So, I spent some time with different phono cables with my diff...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]Hi, yes i agree that my solid-state amplifiers were not best choice for compressio drivers, they were my second amps when electricity was bad, otherwise I use a custom made 300B from La maison de l'audiophile for my s...

Since I am now in the Super Zarathustra conceptualization mode am paying attention to the hybrids out there.

I still do not see any interesting Class “A” hybrids but it looks like regular AB hy...

Yeah, that is low life for sure but that kind of takedown is becoming more common. People are copying the politicos (of all types and persuasions). If they can't give a memorized answer or it jars one of their buzz phrases they feel free to slime yo...

Roman,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Last year the speaker was presented by “Horning Hybrid Perikles” importer who told me that they demonstrated: “3-ways loaded into the same horn loudspeaker”. I asked him to explain what dose it mean “3-ways loaded int...

So, it has been a while. I have DSET/Macondo in stereo now although there is still some work to do to finish it and tune it to the room. As discussed earlier in this thread I need a preamp with gain and the Placette is just not cutting it for me (n...

Rather involved discussion about Helmholtz-type speakers. Here's another proponent, Hans Kortenbach:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHBlikzKoRgI have only "heard" the Musical Affairs speakers on YouTube, but I have to say, they are able to do some s...

Paul, if by error correction you mean frequency correction then I was thinking about +/- the same.i) Active filters; I have zero experience with crossing-over but people who seem to know what theyare talking about all agree that at ULF active is the ...

I am not the person to speak about the 6E5P but I have messed with hybrids. If you want LF power, I can say I've heard some pretty simple plate amps that "work" at LF. It would be helpful, and it might even be necessary for you to tell more about you...
|
|
Well, that's a mighty interesting hybrid! And talk about current! I'm going to look into that further, myself.
BTW, yes, some MC SUTs are "like that'", but - obviously - they are "LV".
Best regards,
Paul S...

My wording was bad. I am building zarathustra but am a long long way from completion. I do not have the capabilities to just whip one up. Yes the 6n1p was from the old days when i thought i had discovered good sound, i'm sure i still don't know(but...
