Okay, I decided bite a bullet and go to an experiment. I begin to plan how to build a version of AmpX. It will be an amplifier but it will be based upon different concept. The concept is that amplified signal is not a direct reflection of the source,...

Those who follow my site know that since September, I have
lived in a strange stage, questioning many things in audio due to my exposure
to what I call AmpX topology. I have 3 audio friends with whom I shared one of
the versions of AmpX and they o...

Plenty has been said about the Lamm ML2s, for good reason. In my first post in 2006, to start this old thread, I obviously had some difficulty describing what I was hearing. I can still remember my early sessions with these amps. What I was trying to...
|
|
At this point I would like to avoid any type of comparing between ML2 and what I call AmpX. I have absolutely no idea, at this point, why ml2 sound in the way how it sound neither I understand why AmpX produces the effect it's produces. I have hy...

This is a very good question and I wish I know the answer. A common logic would suggest that if one Dac is better than other than it should have better options to propel me, as a listener, to whatever destination I am trying to go. However, it se...

I have revision 2 of my ampX assembled and running. It certainly needs more time to break in but from what I observe prelimitary result is not good. As I said before it is not just an amplifier, and a very specific amplifier topology, but rather ampl...

Thanks, I will look it up. My intentions for sure not to run my main channels over any type of digital transformation. I would like to have just very slight touch up with space treatment channels. Hopefully, Auro will be doing it more effectively the...

Lots of nice talk about the listening experience(s), Romy, but you still say you want to continue to analyse and understand what's going on. Are you trying other quasi-complementary amps for comparisons? When I shopped for powerful amps I found that ...
|
|
The best explanation of my position in regards of hypothetical best is my possession of multi-channel horns and multi-channel amplifications with line level filtration. This is concepts that I "invented" for myself tested it and was inheren...
|
|
Yup. That makes sense to me. Sure, we don't understand ML2 effect well enough to draw "parallels" between AmpX and ML2. Just hoping any own-sound it turns out to be is tolerable long term. Meanwhile, Baby/Bath Water, we try not to get them confused.....

[quote user="N-set"]Thank you! I’ve located anp paid for DSP3000. The RI speakers: what are your experiences/thoughts?I obviously miss bass energy with Dannoys. Logically, I should then look for bass capable satelites or this logic doesnt work?[/quot...
|
|
Yes I certainly do not have issue to introduce for Auro bass channels as good solution as it could get, not to mention that I drive it by a dedicated AmpX. The problem is that at this point I do not know how deep it should go and how good it should b...

Tested my new two DACs. One of them clearly better than another. However, from musical standpoint the difference between them is not important. It's my big important in terms of the sounds but it is absolutely irrelevant in terms of musical interpret...
|
|
We presume that in order to get "It” we should hear specific
sounds. If the sound by a playback is just a decoded surrogate non-live surrogate
sound, then it is possible that in order to get "It” we need not the
original sounds but very specifical...
|
|
Well, I do not understand what's going on here, but that's just a starting point. Still, I suppose you are on to "something", based on personal experience, also things we have already written about on these pages. If we are looking for "something tha...

There have been too many changes in my system over the past three months to say what was significant. The new dacs were from the fall before Romy noticed the significant improvement so they may have helped but not the main cause. I think it’s the com...

Thank you Romy and others for the input! For the time being I will concentrate the efforts on the Yamahas.

We laugh when we share the idea of the silly audiophile with just a dozen "audiophile-quality" recordings to listen to. I think there are any number of ways to wind up in a tactically similar situation. Agreed that the best one hears from ones system...

I too was extremely reluctant to get a MAC. (luckily you don't really need to touch it after installation). You could use the uBacch VST plugin on any OS if you play through a DAW. The effect is between 10-20% of the real thing - but it serves to pro...

[quote user="N-set"]With little time I have now, I tried Rel T9x woofer with Dannoys to see if I get anything I want. Not. I tried one T9x, summing both channels, positioned centrally between the Dannoys and fed from the B2 outputs. It produced a typ...

Edgar, I absolutely with you on it. I am not sure that I buy completely the notion of LF driver acting as microphone as the PRIMARY reason of the problem. In my view Dunnoy configuration is a strange unicorn, and it is truly perfect in a very small r...

Following with interest. I love a good mystery.I'd like to have a crack at attempting to decode what you might be playing with over there. It's a long shot, as details are scarce and the subject nebula but let's see.I too am working on a somewhat "un...

As written above, Romy came over the other night, and once again his acumen and ears elevated my sound system once more. My equipment list is to numerous to mention, including 1. multiple ac filtering units, including purepower 2000,and Niagara2.Trin...
|
|
As you can read above, Romy came over to help me get the best from my system. With his guidance, and the use of his ampX amplifiers, we used my Trinnov prepro to adjust the crossovers, frequency curves, phasing of drivers and driver volumes of th...

Okay I eventually connected my tested Tannoy red readers to my Rebel. So far so good, that sound but the connections... Now I need to work on integration and crossover. This time I'm willing to do it completely different. I have no control ...
