Skylab. Does the Stepdance have the option of being run off a walwart?

Indeed it does.

Great review skylab!
 
My portable excitement is back. What I can read from your review is too good to be true. I never scored such result in my exam before. lol.
 
Hopefully local shop will have a demo unit to be audition soon.

Another very useful review Skylab.
 
So what is balanced ground topology - is the stepdance a balanced amp or is it still SE?

 

[Skylab]

You can read extensively about balanced ground on the Meier website on the page for the Symphony amp. It's still an SE amp from a connection standpoint.

So it is a SE physical connection but work like Balanced virtually? 

 

[Skylab]

That is my basic understanding of the principle, yes, but I am not really qualified to discuss the merits of the design from a purely engineering perspective.  I just know I have very much liked the performance of Meier amps that employed it.

Hey Rob, thanks for the review. Quick question, Stepdance or Swing? Perhaps could it match Swing?

 

[Skylab]

Unfortunately impossible to say without being able to compare directly.  Sorry!

Yes, I would suggest either the Meier or the iQube, since you are in Europe.  I think the Stepdance is a bit of a better sonic match for Beyers.
