Hello,
I have been following this circle with great interest and would love to hear the NCore amps. I am in Rockland, New York and was wondering if anyone in my area would be willing to permit an audition.
Thank you for your consideration.
Cordially,
Swelfelo

Happy to offer up my stereo Ncore amplifier to anyone interested in a listen in Tucson, Arizona.

For 7-10 days have available for audition AudioKinesis' latest prototype MI speaker cabinet for bass and any acoustic instrument including double bass, arch top guitar, violin, etc (not ideal for distortion effects). Power with my Ncore mono amp. Bring any instrument and MI preamp.
Really looking forward to hearing NCores with my AudioKinesis Prismas.

Really looking forward to hearing NCores with my AudioKinesis Prismas.
If possible, send me a link to your comments. Duke's speakers, including this "1544" (15", dual 4") MI cabinet are just fantastic. Prisma sounded great even with a 100W receiver rated only for 8 Ohms. Ncore rated 600Wrms @ 2 Ohms and better sonics, so you know that combination is golden. Be prudent with the "loud" control!
-
Great idea for a thread.
I am in the Cincinnati, OH area (west side...almost by the Indiana border). Within the next few days, my nCore monoblocks will be finished (one is running now...other to be wired tomorrow...). I'd be glad to demo them.

Thanks for the heads up!
But damn, I did not see the reply until Monday morning. Anyway, I could not have made it last Saturday morning.
It does occur to me that with all of the possible configurations resulting from the choice of cables, cases, connectors, and other tweaks, it is hard to say what effect these will all have on the sound of the amplifier and that there is possibly no one reference product in any event. It would be interesting if someone has compared different builds and heard significant variations.

Swelfelo

If anyone wants to listen to a bridged ncore setup on a B&W803Di driven by a ML380S in Munich I will be happy to host a session.

Charlotte, NC and my amps have 4 wheels. :D
Hello jtwrace,
this is indeed very nice of you to start this thread.
I'm in nearby GSO. I was wondering if these amps can drive a 1-Ohm Apogee Scintilla? In the <200Hz region the impedance of these speakers is something like 0.8-0.9 Ohms (nearly a dead-short!). The impedance in this region is almost purely resistive (unlike cone driver speakers which are quite heavily capacitative thereby giving the amp a real headache). So, the Scintillas are a hard load but a 'benign' load, if I may say so.
I'm looking for a pair of class-D amps to biamp - drive the bass panel.
thanks for your (& other A-C members') insights.....

I'm north of Charlotte, NC by 1 hour. System is here: http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?action=systems;system=1184

I"m sure the NCore's can do that viscous load as long as you're not listening at very high SPL's.

Bombaywalla. The answer as far as the NC1200 goes is an ABSOLUTE YES. As I am not sure I can name names I have sent you a PM with an owner of Apogees impressions with a pair of OEM NC1200 amps.

I live in the Houston Clear Lake area. I have NCore NC400s with Aluminati cases. You can click on systems to see my system.

Lest anyone think one SMPS1200 powering stereo NC400 inferior to two SMPS600/NC400 mono block...
Since you quoted me I think you may have misunderstood. I have both NC400 (DIY) and NC1200 (Merrill Audio Veritas) amps.
