six months later the Boys at Indy built my pair of SEs and i asked Klaus to wire them with the Groneberg TS premium cable to match my speaker and ic cables and he did. these Amplifiers are lightning quick and as smooth as silk and will drive any loudspeaker that i am aware of. -bunky
Well, you know, I think the Stratos I had was a hell of a performer, straight out. It's just a mean machine. The bass response, down to the lowest frequencies I could produce were the best I could do so with any amp I was using. But then, there was this business of "silk" in the highs. Now, I don't think it's too strong, and I also find it to be an extremely flat performer across the range, also holding very well at lower volumes (which many amps don't do).
So, I was thinking of where I would look to try to get from silk to transparency in the high treble. A little whispery, it seems to me there. And, what comments would people offer who have been through upgrades, from Stratos to monos to extremes, and even beyond that to SEs or Gary mods? There has been so much todo in this area, so I am curious as to specific comments or observations when applying these kinds of upgrades.
