Do high dollar mono blocks truly improve the Sound Quality over the mid tier amps
Atmashere when was the last   time  the class D mono blocks  were Officially upgraded or improved ?  AGD for example has had 2-33 upgrades that are a noticeable step up  in sonics depending on model.  there has been several new Gan Mosfets in t...

Shame you have to toot your own horn; I guess folks consider you ‘large.’ @oldrooney That might be because we've been around for so long (46 years). IMO getting into this sport should be for fun and not to make money so we've always been a smal...

and do you really think they get within .01 dB or whatever it is that Raul thinks is needed on this end? @herman  No. That spec sounds dubious. There would be no way to verify that in field testing since the margin of error in the test equipme...

Here's a question that arises when one considers the RIAA equalization error in a phono stage: What is the standard by which the error is calculated? Is it the curve described by the equations in the Lipshitz paper?  Or is it the ideal curve, whi...

Is D for Dry? Class D...
Well, "10Audio" just did a mini review of a pair of class D amps and...ouch! I wonder if they were defective? @grk No, its more likely that Jerry is behaving the same way he did 25 years ago. At that time he dissed our products (by changing pr...

'All' or most that you know of? At any rate, I have to agree with you that 'knowledge levels and skills' is an issue. People seem to get into this sport out of desire rather than if they have the education or not. If you take the time to read Dr...

Tubes units normally have really high RIAA deviation 20hz-20khz some witn a swing over 1 db and why is important this deviation?: because we are talking of a curve where any discrete frequency deviation affects around 2 octaves in that RIAA curve...

Atmosphere. When are you going to be coming out with a new even better model Gan Fet amplifier ? @audioman58 What is meant by 'even better'?  
Need A 10-30 watt Tube Power Amp, Lower Heat Output, Which Sounds Great, Under $1500 Used
You might also have someone refurbish an old Dynaco SCA-35- then you wouldn't need the preamp.

The Class D's also offer a viable alternative as @audioman58 suggests.  Low energy consumption and light weight.features are very compelling.  @skinzy Its not just low heat and light weight! Class D offers design criteria to the designer that a... 
Do high dollar mono blocks truly improve the Sound Quality over the mid tier amps
Unfortunately, no one in this thread has responded to my question directly based on direct personal experience with an upgrade. @skinzy I did. Apparently you didn't consider my answer valid, even though it was based on exactly what you asked ab...

@pindac Could you explain the 'Very touchy' remark? I was simply pointing out fact. Did you take it differently? This is nothing to do with sales FWIW.  
Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble?
 I don't agree the Math only is the defining information that should create a shortlist of options to investigate. The end sound and how it impresses is the one element that really matters. @pindac FWIW, math is what was used to make any audio ...

@lalitk If the very best sound is your goal then I'd would not limit my search to SUTs only! There are plenty of phono sections that can run LOMC cartridges straight in and IMO, some offer noticeably more clarity and bandwidth.
