SS amps rarely (if ever) sound very good on 'horns' and
it's almost always a waste of time.

Strange since SS amps are widely used in pro sound applications
with
horns, and they can sound wonderful.


OK, it's a quick 'banana plug' chop so *just for you* I wired my
Fidelios to the Technics SS (MOSFET) amp to revisit/check and it's
been
very interesting....

Better than I remember, I hafta say, with a lot more bass (and
low-level
noise) from FM Radio which could well be down to the fact that the
Fidelios seem to have 'come of age' recently and have found a lot
more
bass. CD still suffers comparative loss of image and spaciality
(that
planar quality creeping in again) and vinyl just sounded *tired*,
but
that was on the Control Amp's own SS phono stage which could well
explain that! -



DAB radio was probably the best of the lot!!

Jesus Keith!, what are you -on- there?!.....


Classic FM, asitappens - far too much 'slurry' on FM tonight!!



You need a decent erection I reckon!, got the best tuner in the world
and feed it with a bit of damp string or that cowboy frigged
aerial!...


:-)

I normally get a reading of 55-60 dBf - Serge calculated that I would
need 80 dBf for a *silent* signal which, I believe would take care of
any hiss which is not usually a problem, but I don't think it would
remove the low-level 'wind in the microphone' that I get from time to
time?

(Get another floorboard up you tight sod and you could have the 'best
tuner in the world' and I'd get shot of the biggest piece of kit I've
got here!! :-)
