| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers Csontos,Sabai didn't turn it at all - what he wrote was his opinion based on his listening experience. Maybe he'll update it if he does listening to a wider variety of amps & maybe he won't?? Either case as far as I'm concerned he's OK to voic... | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers 04-22-15: GeoffkaitTubes are less distorted when you listen to them. That's my consensus.I disagree Geoffkait. Tubes have more pleasing distortion than SS. Both SS & tube s can be made linear.And a "consensus" is a collective opinion. So, are ... | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers Pontifex,I'm pretty stupid so I don't understand what you mean by "warmth, sweetness and overall pleasant sound."??I've tracked this thread over the several days it's been active & I see a lot of chatter & recommendations. it's great to se... | |
| Devialet. Long term satisfaction? Leicachamp,looks like you are a big fan of Leica cameras? I'm into photography too & use a Nikon (seemed to prefer it over the equivalent Canon). Leica cameras are superb but also pricey....Do you have a Flickr page where you upload your photo... | |
| Box box to Converter Tubes444, Zd542 is correct here.When music is in converted to MP3 format, the compression is a destructive process meaning that the compression throws away hi & lo frequencies to create the MP3 file. Once data is thrown out merely upsampling i... | |
| Tweeter placement 4-17-15: UberdineThe whole "tweeter at ear level" thing is overblown. I don't think it is. There are some very good reasons to have the tweeter at slightly below ear level. I sit with my ears a good 12-20 inches above the tweeters in a near field ... | |
| Why so underwhelmed by Revel F208 audition??? The Arcam in question certainly has me quite curios on how they achieve a class A operation output of 20W until it switches over. My own Pass X250.5 used to power the Revel's hit about 15wpc before going A/B, and are far heftier and run decently w... | |
| Clayton Audio Class A amps. Need amp advice Have you heard from anyone that they've heard C8s driven with "tight grip on the bottom" that you seek? If so, what amps did they use to do so? That's a key question for you. Cheers,SpencerSbank, I think this might have stated already in this thre... | |
| Why so underwhelmed by Revel F208 audition??? 04-15-15: AlmargThe "class G" design of the Arcam A39, as explained here, is radically different than the designs of most amplifiers having high end aspirations. OMG!!! this technique by Arcam has hit very close to home!!! ;-) | |
| Which one...? I've had my Bel Canto CD-1 for awhile & although very good I want to upgradewhy do you want to upgrade? IOW, what are your goals re. the upgrade? OR, is it an upgrade just for the sake of an upgrade?other components in your stereo?? music tast... | |
| Speakers or Amplifier 04-12-15: Ricred1I recently added the Bricasti M1 DAC. The M1 improved bass output, dynamics, and soundstaging. I still believe I can improve the bass output, but would like opinions on the most feasible way forward. In general I don't like subs. ... | |

| Total cost of ownership - how to reduce it 04-08-15: RhljazzObviously you don't own a Range Rover, Mercedes, or BMW. Buy one of those and your audio repairs will fade into the background. One of those fine vehicles will illustrate the frequency, severity, and cost of ownership.Not my BMW b... | |
