Spock's Beard Demo Discs Guys; I have Spock's Beard sending a bunch of CD's for demo purposes and for raffle to those that appreciate their music. Here is one great song from them you should check out: Solitary Soul Love Beyond Words - YouTube

Agreed which is one of the reasons power cube testing really doesn't interest me and hence why so few people even use them. I am trying to get Emotiva to build me a complex load impedance bank so if enough people here chew them out for not building it for me yet, it may happen :) THX is great...

I spent many years thinking everything in audio could neatly be measured and quantified. If fact I am pretty anal retentive about this beyond just audio but I am slowly realizing that we don't always get the whole picture from text book measurements & analysis. This is a good topic for an...

It's not always that cut and dry. You measure a worst case test signal with a best case test load vs listening to a worst case load on a dynamic and usually less strenuous signal. Measurements do tell a lot but you can't rely solely on them 100% for audio electronics let alone loudspeakers.

You will NEVER get 100% correlation between measurements and perceived differences in anything. I use measurements to flesh out product design faults NOT necessarily to declare product superiority. Loudspeakers for example are too complex to sum up and correlate how they will sound in...

Yes I do believe I heard differences in upper treble response but I don't have the ability to instantly switch the amps and level match them so I am relying a bit on auditory memory. I will keep testing this though. Don't forget the amp testing is all done through resistive loads so how the...

I actually don't care for the cosmetics of the Classe amp I reviewed. I much prefer the look of my Denon and the Pass Labs I am currently reviewing . Yet my opinion of the Classe remains unchanged b/c of appearance. It's a great amp able to drive the most difficult loads that my more powerful...

As a person that has designed audio amplifiers and have been reviewing them for over a decade that is NOT a sentiment that I share. Even at low power levels audible differences can be heard between amplifiers if the loudspeaker is revealing enough and the load is difficult. This is especially...

I turned in my $4k Denon blu-ray player for a BDP-95 and haven't looked back. I don't miss the reliability issues I had with my Denon nor the sluggish response it had. I do miss the fact that the Denon have every output activated at once and even spit out high res video/audio from both HDMI...

Yea I understand your argument but the performance of this amp is quite exceptional. Personally, I would have liked to see "made in Canada" on the back but its hard to find any electronics these days made in the USA, Canada or even Japan for that matter!

Update on Voting Deadline Given the recent circumstances on the voting issue, I am extending the deadline to cast your vote to 9/24/12. This should give all registered members plenty of time to post on this thread who their favorite review was written by. thanks.

Voting Poll Bogus Guys, The poll voting seems to be getting manipulated by unregistered members. I didn't realize at the time that anyone could vote in this poll. In the future, I will have to see how we can only limit voting to registered members if we ever structure a contest like this...

I feel your pain. My wife is the same way, and I have sensitivity. She can eat Mozzarella but not Ricotta. Take lactaid pills prior to eating cheese and make sure you take probiotics and digestive enzymes regularly.

Yep same here. They cook the pizza at 900 deg so it only takes 90 seconds. I feel like I stepped into Italy and best of all I don't need a 10hr plane flight. Just a 20 min ride to the mall :)

I hear you as I am from NY and I can tell you I can't get a Pizza like this in Long Island. Maybe in NYC but not sure. I want to try "Under the Brooklyn Bridge" next time I go to NYC.

that girl in my 12yo daughter :) The Pizza is only 12". Can't make them bigger while retaining their Certification for being Authentic Italian Pizza.

A Woodfire Pizza place close to my home. It's family owned and they are from Italy. They import the tomatoes, mozzarella, and flour from Italy. the 900 degree woodfire oven is also from Italy as is the sand they use inside of it. I had them whip us up a Margarita pie with fresh eggplant...

If your comparing front towers to rear towers and sitting at the listening position, the rear towers will ALWAYS sound louder even when level matched b/c they are too close to ear level. I rarely recommend using towers as surrounds unless you can put them far enough away from the listening...

thanks for your compliments. Yes the internals are identical. just the layout is a bit different. Both amps have two pairs of binding posts for bi-wiring under the but the power transformer is oriented differently according to the pic. Classe told me they are identical so it is possible the...
