Hi Martin,
If you have a free day when you get the amps. I would love to compare it to my Spectron IMS.

I'd love to hear about that Joe. I liked the Spectron Musician when I tried it for a short time.

They'll be in the NYC area Sunday or Monday, they are currently in South-Jersey, outside of Philly. I may head down there to give them a listen on Saturday, and they are to be sent to the next in line that afternoon. If it works out I may be the delivery man, as the next in line is in the NYC metro area.

I have a Cherry that'd love to meet up with that Ncore! If only I got off my butt and got a dac already

WOW I just can't be-lieve that someone made a class D amp worth listening to  :roll:

If it happens Rich, I'll post some thoughts.
 
My Spectron mk.2 has upgraded VH AUDIO CuFT caps. It adds a nice improvement in tonality, IMHO.

These N-Cores belong to Jason (jtwrace) and they are on a loner/tour by his generosity.
I don't think they'll be in this area for more than 6~7 days.

  Maybe the May 12th mini rave at my place could be a shootout. Joe's Spectron, N-core, W4S and Arion hybrid. All compared to  18W SET custom mono blocks.
  Speakers available will be , Pipedreams, Soundfield monitors and Lenehan ML-1R. Source either Kuzma TT or Plinius CD 101.
  Let me know if it can happen. So far only 3 have responded.

I would have loved to come by Charles, but I'm taking my daughter to a teen driving seminar that day. I may be able to come by afterwards, but I don't know what time the seminar is over.

As far as an amp shoot out on the 12th goes, It all depends on who has them at that date, and when they're scheduled to be sent to the next in line. The N-Core tour rules and details are posted here --> http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=105395.0

Paul has Martens, right? That combo should reach max theoretical resolution! :thumb:

I will host a G2G in NC featuring Jason's N-Cores in about 2-3 months at end of tour.

Rock on!  :thumb:

FWIW... If memory serves me correctly... Jason had built one of the classdaudio amps... as part of that he built some enclosures... from what I understand, they turned out really nice. Would like to see some of his work.

edit: Found the case info

Yah...maximum trust into hyperspace.  :lol:

I have a mere humble VMPS RM1 (partly active).
Maybe we can even get it over to Wes, hear it on his Hanson Prince II.
Fun week next..

So Martin let me understand this.  You'll be strapping the NCore to your chest and the Hansen's to your back and running them over to Charles' home?

Seriously, what is the plan?
