Final-Audio New Series electrostatics
Can you please share your thoughts on the ones that you have owned/auditioned, as well as your path to where you are currently. Would also love to know what amplification you have driven and are driving your speakers with; the type of music you li... 
Would You Rather Own A Good SET Amp, Or A Great Push Pull Amp?
Do you mean Class AB when you say PP or do you mean Class-A Push-Pull? There is a BIG difference between Class-AB PP and Class-A PP. If you meant Class-A PP, then a great Class-A PP would be a no-brainer, I think.  
DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea?
On the assumption that this thread addresses DIY speakers in general, and apologies if I am slightly off-subject: Has anyone here dabbed in a DIY kit for Electrostatic Speakers? I am tempted to build one, but have never built any DIY speaker yet,... 
New, Very Interesting CD Transport
So has anyone actually tried this new Shanling ET3 CD Transport? If so, please give us a report on your impressions, and which other transport(s) you were comparing it to, as well as information on the other important parts of your system involved... 
New Class D amplifiers
@atmasphere : In addition, the distortion of the output section isn't made in the same way that it is in a class A or AB design. The result can be that the distortion the class D amp generates can be far more benign to the ear.  Very interesti... 
New Class D amplifiers
@atmasphere: Your quote earlier: There should be no difference at all! If you think there is, then you are convinced that we can't make the measurements for everything we hear (which, since about the early 1990s, we can) and also that the human ... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
Has anyone compared this amp with the recently released Atma-Sphere Class-D one? Since this one applies no loop feedback, while the Atma-Sphere does apply loop feed-back, I'd be interested in knowing how they compare, especially with music with a ...

Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
@atmasphere Thank you for your patience and great explanations. With regard to the high-lighted statement below: That is why we never ran feedback with our OTLs, since keeping distortion vs frequency linear across the audio band is pretty impor... 
Transients hurting my ears on hifi solid state amps
This is caused by higher ordered harmonics that are part of the distortion spectra of the amplifier. In this case, those higher ordered harmonics are not masked by the lower orders. The ear is keenly sensitive to the higher orders as it uses them... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
Embrace the 2nd and 3rd harmonic distortion at low levels is the message. If you don’t like the message then move on. Someone, please correct me: I don't believe that the idea is to "want" 2nd and 3rd harmonic distortion, but rather our brains...
