Please add me to the terrible ten.Thanks, Don
Last call for our Marin gig.Sonny, be nice to hear your bent?just for an A/B with the spread spectrum?Thanks in advance, Bill
Preamps are controversial; I thought they were unnecessary & may decrease performance till a reference preamp was experienced in a familiar system. James Bongiorno’s Spread Spectrum Technology “Ambrosia” is ...$7500 w/ separate MC & MM stages. Among many other accomplishments JB conceived the full dual-differential full-complementary amplifier topology employed in most modern high-end power amps. Remarkably, the Ambrosia has remote, transparent-in-use bass/treble w/ four turnover poles each. (For comparison sake, more popular preamps auditioned are the $15k Krell EVO & $17k VTL TL-7.5 Mk I.) ...www.TubeResearchLabs.com did the all-solid-state upgrade to the Sony CDP. It compared well vs. the $18k Meitner two-box CDP. TRL:Have done design work on MRI machinesPerformed final troubleshooting for Intel’s Pentium IV chipDesigned output transformers for TRL’s $100k+ tube amps; TRL’s rejected transformer prototypes were later employed by a major tube amp company in their $40k “Reference” amps...Bill’s Jolida Music Envoy tube monoblocs are the proverbial iron-fist-in-a-velvet glove: 200W; IIRC the humongous output tube is a radio transmitter. The machined aluminum chassis are blistering beauties; I’d love two please. Duke’s AudioKinesis Jazz Modules are my favorite floorstanding loudspeakers; sounded great at Bill’s place & at Duke’s in Idaho. The sweet spot is huge & dynamics give them a rare live sound at all levels. Persons desiring to experience the best of the high-end simply must hear these. Duke is the last to admit this but he is a rare individual: gracious, good-natured, accommodating & generous to a fault (really: both of the sum total two times I owed Duke money I paid more than the amount billed). Duke’s fantastic $9k/pr Dream Maker made the TAS 2008 Editor’s Choice list. First southern Idaho brings us “Napolean Dynamite” now waveguided high-sensitivity high-end loudspeakers! Whoodathunk?! The same system was a rare treat at Bill’s house a few weeks ago; I’ve seen Peter’s room & it looks like a winner. We are very fortunate Peter has opened his home for this event.
Hello, If there's still room, I'd love to join you on Sunday in Marin. I'm in Berkeley. Let me know. Mark
