| Is Digital actually better than Analog? Hey I have a carburated car! I enjoy it very much - there is nothing quite like the sound of air rushing down the venturi pipes when you accelerate. Fuel injection sounds so mechanical and precise, regimented and digital. Carburetors however sound... | |
| How to eliminate noise in IC's? I have seen this before. Depending on the grounding scheme of the amps, you can get major buzzes from ICs - no matter the length. Getting around the problem may be tough. I had an easy way out with MIT T2 ICs, which never seem to buzz even with my... | |
| Analog experiment Ok - I got some other vinyl and have been listening to the turntable for 3 days now, off and on, seriously, casually and as background music. This should take care of those who got hung up on the one part of my test were 40 second bites were used.... | |
| Sacrilege Going from Tubes back to Solid State I think there needs to be some distinctions made here. "Tubes" and "SS" cover a very large range of amps and some are very similar and some are not. In my experience thus far, SET tube amps have a special quality that I have not found in any SS am... | |
| Analog experiment Jeff - That is a good idea and I will do that for sure. My dealer will love to hear the test as well - he is always up for comparisons. Shardorne - you crack me up!For the record, I don't prefer CD over vinyl. I prefer my Sony SCD-C333ES over the ... | |
| Analog experiment My first thread asked if cheap used LPs are decent quality/condition and many replies said that they aren't. I guess the analog camp is divided on this point. However, I do know that many used LPs I have looked at in the past looked really rough a... | |
| effect of tubes in cd players Some of the Consonance also let you switch between tube and SS. | |
| Analog experiment Thanks for all your thoughts. Rnm4 - As I said already, I did listen to at least one side of all the LPs before ever turning on the CD player. This represented a little more than 3 hours of analog listening before going to CD. Maybe 3 hours isn't ... | |
| effect of tubes in cd players I have a solid-state CDP and a tube CDP. They are both very different and if you go by classical definitions, the SS one sounds more like tubes and the tubed one sounds like SS. So you can't go by that. There is a lot of overlap - you just have to... | |
| Analog experiment I don't think any of my LPs today were standard pressings - I assume that means they came out before CDs were invented, no?Well I would enjoy both but to be honest, I already have two sources I prefer - the Sony and my Audio Aero Prima Mk2. The Pr... | |
| Analog experiment I was probably more surprised than any of you. I have heard vast differences between different components in my system (particularly preamps) and to have so little difference between analog and digital, after hearing all the hooplah, was a total l... | |
| A great article on Class D/switching amps Class A or Class B. | |
| A great article on Class D/switching amps I am doing my PhD on Class D amplifiers but I won't own one for my stereo. There is still a ways to go in the design of switching output circuits. Crown is one of our sponsors and they are really pushing research in this area so it will come event... | |
| Sacrilege Going from Tubes back to Solid State I second the MC402 suggestion. If you love tubes, you'll love this amp. | |
| Choice of amplifier I was extremely impressed with the MA2275 as well and it would get my vote. So far, I have only heard it at the dealers but I want to try one in my system soon. It seems to do everything right. And it will love your speakers - it'll be an awesome ... |
