    Vintage amplifiers that could challenge or approach current state of the art amplifiers

    Yup, B3 are Yamaha VFET amps, like the B2. Still one of the best sounding production amps around. My sample is hypnotic to listen to.

    Steve G Takes Revenge On ASR With New Review!

    Not really, but I couldn't help thinking that the whole time he was making this vid, he didn't have the echo of ASR rattling around in the back of his mind.

    That's strange. I can never figure out for sure exactly when they are.

    Vintage amplifiers that could challenge or approach current state of the art amplifiers

    All these pages and no mention of Yamaha B2 VFET? Yes, it definitely challenges modern amps in sound quality, it is hypnotic to put a word on it. My Sample, all original (except for VU meter LED), sounds amazing: I have a Yamaha MX 600u, too, that is also all original, powers some surrounds...

    MBL Pre-amp De-Thrones Benchmark?

    MBL Pre-amp De-Thrones Benchmark?

    These threads referring to Stereophile reviews clued me into reading the comments sections after the reviews. They are marvels of bilious snideness and are quite fun to read in an audio-as-combat sort of way. I think I will start reading them more often. Stereophile seems to have a captive...

    Audio Pundit Rant (Currawong)

    Amir always cracked me up even before ASR, because he had great, very authentic if non-poetic reactions to audio equipment and audio set ups, even if they were very expensive and exotic, and absolutely refused to budge to audio gaslighting when it was heaped on him. Inclusion in the hoity toity...

    Tidal does Atmos - for real this time!

    I wonder: Are Subjectivist or Objectivist more suggestable to Hypnosis?
