That's about right! In Triode mode it's a glorious midrange, without a doubt! That's their signature attribute. Also listenable for endless hours... especially late night sessions. Then switch over to SET, and it gets even more seductive, draws you into the music. So again, a very highly...

Very true! Although this is more or less alongside personal preference... UL operation has the edge over triodes, especially when it comes to greater control. UL op has more of everything that triodes offer. I think that triode option was initiated during the SET era, such that SET always...

Roger that captain! Yes, that's about right regarding the better tube gear designs but they're pricey. Those brands already trialed by Tom, some good and some not so good are based on a certain ordinary level of tube gear, with certain exceptions though as is the case with Prima Luna (real...

G'day maties, greetings from Melb. Off topic: it's a darn shame we (Aussie Matilda's) just couldn't get "over the line," hence England's Lionesses won that semi final -WWC soccer. Then of course England faced Spain in the final, Spain won and their football chief stole / forced a kiss... and now...

From the BHK 300's to the 600's there's a lot more of everything. Although the 300's are capable of delivering high power, their Output stages are more suited towards benign loads or loads that aren't notorious like stats. When you consider the BHK 600's there's a lot more current, larger...

1.5 bil...!!! Hot damn! Now that's something worth winning. Mmm... I do wonder what kind of audio gear that kind of money could buy. Then again, I don't think it would suffice simply because once you've bought the latest & greatest there's always another one round the corner and the vicious...

G'day MS, very nice set up there, especially the CLX's! Always nice to hear from fellow CLX Art owners, and learn about their set-ups and system configs. Going from Krells to BHK 600's is a definite step further. I would say is not just a "step" but several steps! Also, as I've stated many...

Ah... the Vitus SS-101. Look out! Get ready for a mind boggling ride... remember to fasten your seatbelt, not just at the waist but also your head & shoulders. That's a phenomenal power amplifier, it really doesn't get any better than that. Unless you've got nothing else to do with your money...

Very good point! I've always told many people who've visited, just because all the power is available on tap, there's really no point in listening to music at extreme levels. After all, this is recorded music being "played back..." not a rock concert or a live gig. That type of sound is totally...

Brilliant! Now that's raw talent. Nice one, cheers RJ

Yes that's correct. In fact speaking of the hull... apparently there was a major design flaw. At such depths, the industry standard is supposed to be somewhere around 7 inches or more. In this particular case with the use of exotic materials, carbon fibre and titanium, the hull was just 5...

Ok, fair point mate. What a disaster though, from a search & rescue mission... to a search & recover mission but recover what? They were all blown to bits, which have now been released saying they found human remains. As to what's exactly remaining is unclear. I would have thought there wouldn't...

Purchasing insanely priced speaker cables does NOT put yours or anyone's life in danger, seriously mate? High end audio is not a life & death situation, and as far as I'm aware, anyone who's purchased 6 figures of gear is still alive and enjoying their music! So no one died... The point I was...

Correct! And as James Cameron said, nearly a century after, this submersible perished nearly at the exact same place! Just a few 100m from the Titanic wreck... how ironic. When the warning signs are out there, why rusk it? I simply can't understand why. RJ

Greetings from down unda. Just thought I'd share a few thoughts, especially after this incident. As usual on my travels, I bumped into a kid, no more than 5yrs old. He was in that "why" stage... So as we got talking on the topic of submarines... the covo ended with the recent tragedy of Ocean...

Last night, I pulled this one out of the hat. Didn't even know I had it! Vanessa's voice, and dynamics on strings is fantastic! Reproduced through stats, the level of transparency in soundstage is superb! Along with a full bodied open midrange, really tops. This is a three LP set, the first two...

Live in Melbourne mate. Yes, please do get in touch when you plan your trip. Not sure of you're passing through VIC state though... but let me know in any case. Cheers, RJ

G'day maties, just wanted to share my next venture... this is once and only after ML would cease to support the CLX's panels or any service for that matter. As far as now and most probably well into the next decade, I'm sure ML will continue to support their CLX customer base for as long as...

Yes, lifting is actually one of the greatest strengthing exercises anyone could adopt but very few do In fact my physio always says, the most important muscle is not biceps, triceps or quads but the heart! If that muscle stops you're gone! So cardio is just as important as lifting I've got...

Now that's referred to as "Balanced Force!" Apparently ML also adopts this element into their subs... no kidding! Heavy weights... forget it! Nope, can't lift heavy anymore, after 50 it's not good for the joints. Anything under 50kgs is good enough for me, with plenty of reps and good cardio...
