In Reply to: RE: Ah yes, BUT you have not heard ALL SET amps, there in lies the RUB, and WHY your vision is limited~nT posted by Cleantimestream on June 03, 2012 at 07:59:04
I came across this thread and I would like to make a comment. I own a pair of Dennis's 2a3 amps using the EML meshplates. I also own a pair of his Altec 604 speakers. I am not an audio engineer but am a long time audiophile who has owned gear from Lamm, Shindo, Wytech etc. The Serious Stereo amps are by far the best sounding amps I have ever had in any system. These very low watt amps along with the Altec 604 provides incredible slam, mid-range magic, and high end extension with volumes that will drive you out of the room if you care to listen that loud. It never sounds stressed but produces music effortlessly. Many people think that this is not possible but those making that claim have never heard these amps. I suggest that any doubters look up Dennis at RMAF if attending to hear what his amps can do.

give me the schematic and I will weigh in myself. I build all my own amps to a level of quality far beyond over 95 percent of high end audio. Using overbuilt power supplies/No electrolytics, choke loaded etc.
The only 'new' circuit I have seen these last couple of years was The late Allen Wright's preamp design.

No Cleantimestream,I know the schematic. I have been designing and building DHTs since 1982. I believe you would NEVER in a million years be able to judge it from a schematic, or even duplicate the amp. I certainly can't build it, and I've been "inside" multiple examples of Dennis' amps over many years.
Dennis' work and thought goes WAY beyond what you THINK you might know about audio building and design. Dennis' latest amp, in particular, is the best. I don't precisely know who the above poster is who offered such a stellar review, but I "hear" the 2A3 amp at shows and home venues, so my comments are the result of much direct listening experience.
Cheers.

To say the schematic has almost nothing to do with how it sounds,
Sounds,
Well,
Rather absurd to me, Jeff.
I would call it in thirds.
1/3 implementation/layout
1/3 Schematic
1/3 Parts {obviously if feedback is used the parts would not carry so much weight}

I liked your response, at least the thirds analysis, good thinking.
