| Mistakes I’ve made I've never loaned audio equipment to friends but I've loaned CDs and records that were never returned. I wish I had half of the amount of money I've loaned to people who never paid me back---I'd be pretty rich. My parents always told me never to l... | |
| For auld lang syne, ..high-end companies you really liked that are gone.... What ever happened to Boston Acoustics? | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? I haven't had good experiences with tubes---I guess I'm the oddball. I had the same thing---hiss, noise, dinging sounds. I went back to SS and I'm staying. I prefer a completely black background. | |
| High end Class D amps? @noble100 @jjss49 Thanks for the advice and you made a lot of great points. Yes, I'm still learning and experimenting on my audiophile journey. I've never been an impulse buyer and try to do as much research as I can without over doing it. Funny y... | |
| High end Class D amps? @twoleftears Thanks so much! I'm still trying to learn. :) | |
| High end Class D amps? So I'm confused about the little Nuprime ST10 amp (which has gotten rave reviews btw). Its output is rated at 150wpc at 8 Ohms and the same at 4 Ohms(??). Plus it has a toroidal transformer. Does that make it a hybrid of sorts? | |
| High end Class D amps? There are so many highly experienced audio pros in this thread that I still get a little overwhelmed by the technical talk, specs, etc. So after reading all the responses, here's what I'm thinking---so I have a pre-out on my Luxman 505uxii integra... | |

| I love sad music Great discussion---some of mine are:-Pet Shop Boys - Being boring (remembering care free days of youth and friends dying of AIDS (1990)-Michael Martin Murphey - Wild Fire-OMD - The view from here-Barber - Adagio for strings-Phuong Medley - Green p... | |
| Preamp SS to match class D amp As someone who's searching to (possibly) get a class D amp for my system, I have asked this question to some friends and a couple of owners as well. They recommended the Parasound preamp (a lot of bang for the bucks) or if you can afford it, the M... | |
| High end Class D amps? @noble100 Good points regarding the sub--that's a possibility as well. I've seen some good reviews about the REL subs. My budget is around $2k so the D-Sonic would be fine if I decide to do that. I didn't realize there were subwoofer 'sets' like t... | |
| High end Class D amps? @noble100 "From what I've read, Luxman amps are generally regarded as sounding well controlled, smooth, sweet but also detailed. Do you perceive your Luxman integrated as having these sonic traits? If so, and along with your comment abou... | |
| High end Class D amps? @noble100 Hi Tim---thanks for the info. I don't consider myself a new audiophile per se, but in the past, I didn't really pay much attention to specs like I do now. I was a young 20-something back then and just bought what sounded good. As I've go... | |
| High end Class D amps? @noble100 Thank you for that information---so would it make sense to add a class D power amp to a class AB integrated with a pre-out to get more power if needed? I realize that may sound weird but if you have a 100wpc integrated, for example, and ... | |
| High end Class D amps? Great discussion and I've learned a lot from this---some of you have commented that class Ds is good for better bass. Why is that? You wouldn't get good bass from class A or AB? |
