Browse the content of the threads in new Window  Thread: NAT Audio Magna -160 Watts of Single-Ended Class A in Audio Discussions  5 Replies 
I have to admit that I personally care less about powerful full-range SET amplifiers. I do not take their sound seriously, in fact I do not believe they are cable to do “right full-range sound” and what I see then I always imagine them with huge, bar...

Looking again at the NAT Audio Magna amp, the amps around the 833A, GU81, 50TH, 1000TH, GM100 and many other SETs that try to use powers transmuting tubes I feel that the entire endeavor of powerful SETs shoot itself in a leg. If a person has too de...

[This is a repost from Audio Asylum -- Music Lane]  Not to mince words, I have five. And this from a guy who usually disdains such collections. But there are exceptions. -- Schnabel. (Of course) But he can be overly fierce. -- Claude Fran...

Browse the content of the threads in new Window  Thread: 250 watts Parallel S.E. advises in Audio Discussions  13 Replies 
Devo, the GM-100 for sure is a good triode to get 160 watts output power in A1. Still, it would be a good chose, from my point of view, ONLY from a prospect of embracing as good DIY audio project. There is nothing wrong then to do the good DIY aud...

Browse the content of the threads in new Window  Thread: Today’s SACD - music for oscilloscopes. in Didital Things  8 Replies 
Paul McGowan, the head of PS Audio send his newsletter with his comments about SACD. The comments are childish and in many way absolutely ignorant. I hate what the industry professionals twist the facts and go into pure falsification in order to ...

  One sees this question often posed, and I think rightly so. I've been introduced to some fine music and performance by my friends and associates. In fact, they're better than reviewers! So I was dismayed when I started off a post with...

Continuing the thoughts from the post: A powerful full-range SET? What a bogus idea! What I would actually would like to see is the industry not to furnish idiotic loudspeakers with granite drivers and then trying to push high power SETs to drive the...

Since I "forgot" to mention it before, the very interesting amp I mentioned up the thread is the Nat Audio Generator monoblock, a Serbian PP triode/SS hybrid of some sort.  Now that I have the MA-9S2s, there is no reason for me to check back on t...

I went back and read the introduction at NAT's website, and it makes me suspicious, right away. It makes me wonder if there is an engineer who also has a hard time reading about "his design", or if they all work together to sell expensive amplifiers....
