I'm rather curious to listen to these:

Experience anybody ?

[quote user="Merlin"] Indeed the linearity of the Berning in comparison with the Lamm is quite remarkable, and indeed could be disconcerting to an inexperienced listener brought up on large increases on 2nd harmonic at the bottom end. [/quote]

[quote user="Merlin"] If there's one thing I hate about internet forums it's people postulating about sounic characteristics and possible failing in equipment they have never heard. [/quote]

[quote user="Merlin"]Interesting perspective... [but] we are discussing the Siegfried in this thread or at least that was my impression.[/quote]Umm, the name of the thread is: DAVID BERNING AMPLIFIERS, dude, not Siegfried.[quote user="Merlin"]With re...

[quote user="Merlin"]Are your observations regarding the ZH270 relating to comparisons with other push pull designs or SET's?[/quote] Well, both push-pull and SET and also some transistor designs as well, as I used to be quite a fan of Nelson Pass an...

Thanks, Merlin. Do you know what switching frequency Berning use for his pulse converter?...
|
|
[quote user="Merlin"]Well firstly on those, the tweeter is not offset to one side - it appears to be time aligned directly behind the midrange horn and upper bass unit. Secondly, that's a JBL 2405.[/quote]I do not know which driver the Living Voce us...

[quote user="Merlin"] Regarding constructive criticism, is there any chance of you explaining why you feel the installation is mortally compromised Romy? In order to be constructive, an explanation is required otherwise it simply qualifies as childis...

[quote user="Merlin"]The Berning Siegfried.[/quote]
When I made the post about I did not read the replies above. The Berning Siegfried? Well, I did not hear this amp, in fact I did not hear any of the Berning amps that use that impedance matching pa...
|
|
Still, I would like in this thread to stay with subject of advantage/disadvantage of DSET approach vs. better/expensive SET: "A DSET is better then an expensive SET" instead of turn it into thread about David Berning. Bernings certainly might be...
|
|
Well, David Berning is about as clever as they come, Merlin, that's for sure, and you don't hear David making a lot of claims for his gear. That whole step-up, HF PS/carrier idea is pretty cool, all right; I think Carver did one, too, year...

For anyone who's interested, I run my SL600s with a Rotel RHB-10 power amp, very successfully, I think. I tried them with a number of SS amps, and none of them did the job quite like the Rotel.(I did buy a tube/valve amp for my main system though - a...

Well, I'm stuck on the idea that whatever it is will somehow provide/enhance space/ambience. Maybe you've found some type of HF with "traction", or something that sounds like it has HF traction, to sister with the Water Drop, or maybe you ...

[quote user="Merlin"]Sorry I don't think you understand. Maybe it's because English is no doubt your second language - a shame as it makes intelligent conversation difficult. Try to read through it again.
I have never been on any Tannoy forum - did...

Merlin, I would take a liberty do not buy it. Are you saying that your SET is not sensitive to load and a different plate load has no change to the harmonics of sound? Do you say that your output transformer does not straggle with inductance vs. capa...

[quote user="Merlin"]Romy,
if you see my post you will notice that I mentioned I did not know of any drive units that could successfully be employed. Can you list some?
Here is a typical high quality 15" cone - indeed one of the finest on the mar...

Merlin, won't you at least put your amp in some sort of meaningful context, because it is a waste to continue this thread if you just treat it like a pissing contest.What speakers do you use? What sources, etc? What do you liste...
|
|
OK, H-T, I read and re-read. Just to clarify, did you mean to suggest that "things change", or something like this? Also, does change come because "something better comes along"? If either of these, then I think the responses were/are apropos. If...
|
|
[quote user="Merlin"]No. You are wrong. Harmonically, my SET is quite superb using either 300b or 811 I have unfettered access to the music in it's entirety. Transformer cores just distort the signal. [/quote]
Well, I do not want to argue the ...

Merlin,
as the person who read my site you might know that one of the few dominating idea of my site and my personal audio interest is the recognition of the following rule as an absolutely desirable aim:

[quote user="Merlin"]I find it pointless discussing the "sound" of a drive unit as it will be totally dependent on the implementation within the system. [/quote]
I disagree. It is pointless discussing the sound of badly implemented drivers but if a ...

[quote user="Merlin"]Sorry Romy. Which loudspeaker are we talking about? Do you have a picture at all? [/quote] I was under impression that you were taking about Living Voice – the Kevin Scott's prototype of his new model.

Wow! Paul, I have to say you really hit the nail on the head this time; whereas usually you strike me a bit more obliquely:[quote user="Paul S"]...the Berning ... makes the music happen as oposed to letting it happen...[/quote]This is exactly w...

Merlin, might I ask you if you can recognize anything from my post:

[quote user="Merlin"]Sorry Romy - I've no idea what you are on about. Did you link to the wrong post by chance?[/quote] What I am interested if you observe with your Berning amplifiers, since they have UHF pulses on filaments and in UHF modulator ins...

[quote user="Merlin"]Where Romy is wrong is the cost of TAD drive units.[/quote]Well, perhaps my outdated memory plays a bad joke on me. What I remember from beginning of 2000s that TAD 2001 cost around $1200 retail with “street price” of $900. The w...

Merlin, would you please be less cryptic?Is it one of Ralph's OTLs or a DIY, or what?What is power and what is full power bandwidth? Into what sort of load(s)?What is distortion at full power? At 1/2 power?Do you use an autoformer, o...

Well, this certainly shrinks chassis size, if nothing else. I've never looked at the circuit, but there has to be some sort of transformer function at each end, up and down, and the easiest way to do this would be with transformers ;>). ...
