IF you can "hear" SS amps, Romy, then your system must not be well set up, and be sensitive to the frequency shifts caused by tube amps. SS amps have NO sound that humans can hear.

Yes! The first movement of the fourth certainly is wonderful.This is great music, and the images of furry hats marching to tragic war in -60C winter when I hear these symphonies have disappeared, leaving only the sense of greatness of spirit.The #6 i...

Yes, the layout kind of not optimum. You might try to lay the transformers sidewise and to make the RCA atop, above the transformers. Still, I hope you understand that your hum has very little to do with layout. Properly grounded unit shell has no no...

Now two months later, it seems the unit in the first few weeks needed to settle in. The effect of collapsing sound images gradually has gone away. Now, the unit before it warms up still retains some of the "silky soft accuracy" character, but this ...

Ok, I did it a little different this time. At full power levels, the dB meter still showed wideband response. However, looking at the scope I could see distortion in the waveform. So instead, I lowered the input level to -3dB from f...

Well, correct me if I am wrong, but I would say that imaging relaies heavily on the differences in timing and amplitude between the two sides and with secondary reflections. This leads to a perception of sound wherein we are able to localize in...

The thought of an arrary of images well forward of the speakers is troubling, but - other factors being equal - I love it when I get +/- that sort of thing behind the speakers along with sound energy from the "performance" th...

I find this solution of inlaying a solid (concrete?) plinth/platform in the flooring to support the speakers very elegant and it should be very efficient at eliminating floor resonances:You could also make a similar structure to support your equipmen...

Paul,I have not heard the synergy horn or any speaker with that design. Here is what I am talking about:http://www.yorkville.com/images/products/u15_cut_sm.jpgIn this particular case there are 3 mids and 1 tweeter driver sharing the same horn.This so...

Well,Berning is a genius to be sure. Here he fixed his sights on the "evil" output transformer. Every part of the circuit alters the sound somehow, of course, and the goal is to find the least damaging topology. The question is aske...
