The Hi-Fi is boutique products and it is customary to sell it for boutique prices. I am sure the economy also “helps”.

Some kind of nut with name “Richard BassNut Greene” posted at the AA sewers a post:

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Rakesh,I think you’ve missed the accent of my battery post. We do not argue abstract topologies but we argue the validity of topology in respect to sonic results. I hope we all agree that we do not exactly know WHY affect...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] Of all the manufacturers you could be poking fun at you've chosen two who actually care about what they make and sell. [/quote]

Paul, another my spin a little off the subject but since it has to do with your current dealing with ML2 I would express it here.
Since you use some tube gear then why you agree to be a slave of random circumstances? Tubes have problems – they go o...

When I decided to build this amp I know from the start that it will look not as 99% of amps. I do not like when transformers are visible.My wife hate this "mushroms" looks.

Rowuk, ironically I am in agreement with your high horse approach
and Amir’s “acknowledge and be happy” point of view. Almost in continuation to
my thread from last week “Destination vs ceremony” I would like to ask a question.

After a month of listening exclusively Melquiades and decided yestoday re-switch everything and to play Lamm’s ML2.
I was quite shocked with the result and I did not anticipate the ML2 could be so way off. I will not elaborate about the a...

[quote user="drdna"] However, there is something to be said for the certain magic that can sometimes happen with a particular device. The unpredictable transients and color shades add a sense of alive-ness that seems separate from the standard charac...

Well, another page of my saga with APS regenerator is turned. I got the updated APS unit. It kind of “works” as I redefined the definition of word “works”. Under normal circumstances I would walk away from it but there are some moments in my “bad ele...

A few days back I went to a meeting of Boston Audio Society
where Dr. Wacks read lecture about electricity industry tendencies and it's transformation

It is very self-evident for kind public this clown is working. From all BS that was expressed about me I would point just two facts:

[quote user="morricab"] The one thing that the Lamm ML2 does differently than nearly all tube amps is regulation of the output stage. They do this with the 2nd 6C33C that is on the chassis. Even the KR amps don't do this and I think it is...

Ok, it is a lot of information on my plate and I am trying to make sense of it. Below I will share my observations about the new Pure Power 3000+.
The first thing first. In the post I made a few days back:

[quote user="scooter"] Indeed, this is a reference to how important electricity might be. After last night, I almost feel as though my equipment is a much less important factor and takes a backseat to everything else. At this stage, I am thinking...

The situation reported has been presented unfairly we believe and includes completely false information regarding PurePower. We were working to solve a problem with a PurePower installation in California for over a year providing three replacemen...

The VERY INTERESTING idea is that the introduction of noise as a dithering element for the analog signal (for our brain to decode) can be helpful in increasing the retrieval of information vital to conveying the Sound. Perhaps ...

I mean to make this post with the observations for a number of weeks. The days are passing by and I hoped that I might get deeper to the bottom of it. Unfortunately I was not able to.

Beinum recorded the Bruckner 8 in 1955 twice, in April and In June. My comment above goes for June recording.
There is something else I would like to add in context to Beinum 55 vs. Lubeck’s Wand.

[quote user="hagtech"]Yes, steel chassis can be both good and bad. It likes to conduct magnetic fields, so you have to treat things appropriately. A little spacing under a choke can go a long way. Otherise you have a 120Hz motor.&nb...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Yep, Telstar. The 1547 was use in Sony and Teac CD players and believe the first CD-SACD machines used that chip. I know very little about those chips and have none of my personal experience to deal with all of it. The reas...
