| Looking for a WiFi interface Denon makes a decent wireless audio transmitter/receiver kit. Works well for me. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1479420-REG/denon_wireless_audio_transmitter.html | |
| Amplfiers that Sound like Pass 30.8 that are not so heavy +3 re AGD Audions, particularly when you seek transparency and “holographic” presentations. Good luck! | |
| Accuphase E650 XLR Input issues Given the diagnostics performed and assuming that ‘softer’ means lower volume, I assume that either pin 2 or 3 (in any case, not the ground pin) of the left XLR connector in the amp (not the cable) are suffering from a ‘cold’ soldering contact, or... | |
| Roon for high end audio? @rifraf4u re ROON and sound quality, in my experience ROON enables perfect implementation of signal transmission via WiFi. I run the ROON core on a (dedicated) MacBook and distribute via WiFi (LinkSys mesh) to two OPPO 205s. Works perfectly, in ca... | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? In response to OP’s question, a number of people here have pointed to GaN technology and specifically the AGD Audion mono blocks. I have these amps now for a few weeks and second the positive sentiment.My signal chain is Roon (on MacBook Pro) via ... | |
| What speaker has the best tweeter? <<<Don’t know where you get that idea, these are the newest horn loaded ones, but are little colored sounding because, of the horn and don't have a 360 degree radiating patternhttps://www.lansche-audio.com/products/plasmatweeter/Cheers Ge... | |

| Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet? @soix Apologies - just realize your question focused on a different amp. Product names seem pretty close.Still, The Audion, a mini amp :-), is worth a listening. | |
| Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet? I wouldn’t put it that way. I understand the specific design objective was to create a GaN amp which delivers SET-like harmonics (without paying the price of high noise floor and limited dynamics). In my view this has been completely achieved.The ... | |
| Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet? @soix I have the Audion now for two weeks,They are driving DC10/Viking Berlin’s (MK II).Very impressed and will definitely keep them.I had listened to them at Ocean Way Audio in LA and was simply stunned of what the combination of an ultra low noi... | |
| What speaker has the best tweeter? Plasma tweeters are physically perfect (you can’t reduce the mass applied to excite air any further) but what has been referred as ‘smell a little’ is their production of ozone.The LD50 of ozone for humans is around 50 ppm, so this is a real conce... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? @rh67Thank you! | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? I can second the comments by those who have/have heard AGD amplifiers.My bias towards Class D has been negative -my Bladelius Ask has a ‘green’ mode using a Class D module, which is flat and harsh compared to the ‘performance mode’ which is ClassA... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? @ OP - I have not read the whole thread and apologize for any repetitive content.The use of terms as "ABX" testing" and "blind testing" are generalizations that do not allow to assess the appropriateness of certain methods for the verification of ... | |
| Connecting a streamer via an Ethernet cable I agree with the recommendation of a mesh wifi system; also, if the wifi receiver of the streamer permits (e.g., ROON does, the OPPO 205 does), set it for a minimal delay, say 10 ms. Thats enough buffer to 'resort' packages.In my experience, mesh ... |
