| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing The thousands of audiophiles all over the world that listen to wires, fuses, jacks, etc......are LIVING PROOF that these things are real. What proof (listening tests) do you have that what they all say is wrong? Please share. Ok. In our zero fe... | |
| Transients hurting my ears on hifi solid state amps To me, modern higher end solid state amplifiers tend have too much slam or too sharp transients and that ends up hurting my ears even at 60db levels. Even listening to mellow jazz, the piano notes are just uncomfortable to listen to because of th... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @ghdprentice I agree on all counts. I would prefer to not have all that space taken up by so many LPs, but OTOH I'm also a bit uncomfortable with having all my music on the cloud, since this means a server farm (which can take as much power as a s... | |
| Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding? @lewm This has to be corrected though. As I pointed out earlier, if the chassis isn't directly grounded it will act as an antenna rather than a shield. Back in the 70's and 80's in South Dakota where TV stations were rare, farmers used to park an... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing So, one thing that would make it sound more open sounding is to remove the steel plate over the transformer and removed the steel bolt. I’ll let you in on a secret. Use Non-magnetic stainless bolts and then you don’t have to go thru all that. A... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing follow up question regarding a higher powered class d amp...would this be of much benefit to people running speakers with 90db+ sensitivity and listening below 85db? Unless the room is enormous, probably not. In the average room that would work... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? That might well be the case but there’s absolutely no denying that there were some fabulous sounding LPs made back as far as at least the 1950s. The best sound that I have ever heard came from one such LP. It had that spooky ’Is it real?’ sound... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? Absolutely. The resurgence happened in response to the unending disappointment in the CD. But at last digital… both CD and more importantly streaming has reached equal or better (high Rez streaming) sound quality in many component combinations an... | |
| Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding? The EAR has rave reviews, and it just seems improbable that Tim de Paravicini with his reputation would make this kind of mistake. Tim passed away (RIP) about 2 years ago. The simple explanation is this unit was built incorrectly. | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Any plans for a higher power mono amps in the future? Yes. 3. Amp designers would state their objective… straight wire with gain….low distortion with 2nd harmonic dominant….low distortion with 3rd harmonic dominant …etc….. I think Ralph has ... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? For every one person who buys an LP 10,000 people buy a digital file. @mijostyn That may well be. I see it slightly differently, which is this: In reality it’s not a LP come back. What exist is a LP recording manufacturers making huge money... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @hilde45 This has apparently been answered by others, but customer feedback suggests the break-in time is real and is about 3 days or so. The amp does not seem to have a 'warmup' time though. | |
| Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding? By my way of thinking, that actually makes the most sense if you are going to float the audio grounds; you want the upstream gear to be grounded at the same potential as that of the on board audio circuit. It seems that you want the ground lug to... | |
| Class D for Repatriated Merlin TSM MMI It seems in the realm of possibility that a machine similar to the ones that build the smd boards, could troubleshoot and rework them. For now it seems mostly that only the factory will service smd boards and after warranty expires well... For m... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? I wish you guys would kiss and make up. @mijostyn FWIW dept.: I don't attack anyone on this site as a person, I respond to correct false narrative or provide additional information. I use simple logic to do it, not personal attacks (personal ... |
