Best phono stage?
My answer is correct, as I am on this high end forum where I would have expected audiophiles to want to know about the tech and design and what they are buying with their hard earned money. Most of my customers take a great deal of interest in the design and the technology. The consumer PC...- G T Audio

Best phono stage?
Indeed, but in the two balanced stages of gain there will be 4 active devices. A single ended 2 stage design will only have 2 active devices, so half the number of active devices of the balanced stage. Plus there will be the extra components required for the 4 active devices over the 2. Then you...- G T Audio

Best phono stage?
When you get to this level, the customer should have some understanding of the design/implementation to know what is good and what is bad, in order to make sure the system is coherent so that every piece of electronics complements each other. Its not uncommon these days for Audiophiles to buy...- G T Audio

Best phono stage?
And do these "many" know what it takes to design and make a really good phono stage? If they did, it wouldn't include any screens or digital circuitry. It would be a purist totally analogue design, and probably a tube design to boot...- G T Audio

Best phono stage?
You have to know and understand at circuit level what it takes to make the finest sounding phono stage. To get the very best sound the RIAA circuit needs to be very simple with very few parts in the signal path and no switches or display screens, preferably a single-ended circuit using a couple...- G T Audio

What are the Top Horn Speakers in the World Today? Vox Olympian vs Avantgarde Trio vs ???
If we are talking about full range horns, then any "Top Horn Speaker" made today would have to have a bass horn to handle the bass below 100Hz, preferably a forward firing one, and one that goes down to at least 30Hz @ -3dB, or 20Hz @ -3dB would be even better. One would have to consider a... -
Single-Ended Triode (SET) Amplifier Revolution of the 1990s. Did it really happen? Was it Successful?
It is perfectly possible to design and build a totally silent SET amplifier that you can put your ear to 105dB horns and hear zero noise from the drivers, as in no hiss or hum. I have been doing this commercially for over 25 years so you can hear the best from the SET topology.- G T Audio

Zero Distortion: Tango Time
Yes. I bet it does. I've never rated the newer SME tonearms with the exception of the M2-12R. Tonearms like the Schroder and Thales are significantly better than any SME IV/V and V12...- G T Audio

The VDH will perform a lot better if it's put in a good modern rigid tonearm like a Schröder or a Thales etc.- G T Audio

horn speakers readily available in the UK? or other British speakers to check out...
Do be aware that Quad ESLs, both original (ESL57, ESL63) and the modern ones made under Chinese ownership, are not that reliable and will require servicing and repair, if being looked at as a long term purchase. Unlike conventional box type loudspeakers including horns etc which very rarely... -
