Best Smaller Bookshelf Speakers For Use Exclusively With Ambient Music?
Think Eno, Will Ackerman, Sigur Ros, Ludovico Einaudi, Dead Can Dance, Enya, George Winston, etc.  I have a set of Fritz speakers that have been very satisfying. https://www.fritzspeakers.com/Fritz%20Carbon%206%20Technical%20Specifications.htm ... 
Competitive class D amp suggestions
I am very sad that Ralph’s Class D is designed only for Nth America and Canada (and perhaps a few others) electricity supply, otherwise I’d be placing my order. @noske We recently documented that our noise emissions meet EU directives; we alway... 
Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine?
Since you took a swipe, Ralph, perhaps because you possibly thought I was taking a swipe at you, I propose that maybe you state your position or purchase or support a hair differently next time so it does not look like it could be virtue signalli... 
A preamp recommendation
maybe @atmasphere can elaborate on their differences as well as the bass concerns you have from reading the MP1 reviews). Anyway, hope this helps and FWIW. @dracule1 @soix The MP-1 does not lack for bass compared to any of our other preamps, an... 
Cartridge Loading.....Part II
The distinction between virtual and actual ground is a subtle one. When an opamp inverting input is used, the virtual ground is extremely similar to a real ground as the action of negative feedback makes it so. The difference is in the error ter... 
Cartridge Loading.....Part II
For the record (if you see what I did there) I've never stated that loading a cartridge would cause mistracking! That is simply Raul with his usual logical fallacies again (in this case, the classic Strawman). What I have stated is that loading t... 
Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine?
@teo_audio If you were looking for a way to lose credibility, you've certainly found it. Please take your nonsense political BS elsewhere.  
A warm natural sounding preamp
Warm and natural are mutually exclusive terms.  'Warm' suggests a 2nd harmonic which is innocuous otherwise to the ear. Such a preamp can sound quite natural as long as the 2nd isn't too pronounced and the preamp is otherwise lacking higher ord... 
Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine?
^^ 😁 We ordered some tubes from Ukraine and got them all. We just did it to support but it was nice to see the tubes too.  
Your sub experience: Easy or hard?
When you play the system as loud as you are comfortable with, something with a decent bass line and a bass drum, can you see the excursions? There are two 15" woofers per cabinet. You never see them move.  
Balanced versus single ended
Then there is the argument that the AES48, as an application is a sonic limitation in itself, and is part and parcel and core to the idea that all AES48 applications have little noted differences in their sonic signatures. You might try it. But... 
Atma-Sphere M60 monoblocks + ML ESL 11 = Inferior combo
@andy_wonderwall You've gotten good advice here. Martin Logans are traditionally hard to drive for any tube amp due to the 0.5 Ohm impedance at high frequencies- so an amp like the M-60 will sound muffled. You can fix this by using a set of ZEROs ... 
For classical music lovers best amp for large orchestral forces?
@roxy1927 I hope you've sorted out by now that the mismatch between the amp and speaker is the problem and not any of the components otherwise. If you like the sound of the amp at lower volumes, If I were you I would consider a speaker that is eas... 
Your sub experience: Easy or hard?
you put your listening position in a null spot! Yes: 'Nulls' are caused by standing waves. It was exactly the only spot in the room the listening position could be located. Move three feet in any direction and no problem. I am very lucky in tha... 
Your sub experience: Easy or hard?
I forgot to mention we are talking about two different buzzes. I mean the vibration you feel as if you feel the string moving. @mijostyn  My main speakers use dual 15" drivers each. They can shake the house pretty well; everywhere except the l...
