Is revealing always good?
Is revealing always good?I recently bought a very revealing and transparent CD player (and AVM player). Because I listen to redbook CD's and 705 of the CD's I listen to are jazz recordings from ca. 1955-1963 the recordings often have bad "digititu...

Thanks for the feedback Nonoise & Kijanki. good for me to note that I'm not the only one who feels this way...... :-) 
Is revealing always good?
CORRECTION to the last para of my prev post - the way I interpreted the OP's definition of "revealing" was with reference to context of his entire post which, to me, indicated that certain portions of the frequency spectrum were accentuated/emphas... 
Is revealing always good?
I wish that were the case, but its not always true. Sometimes you have the system set up properly, and the CD's still sound bad. Zd542, i might have to disagree with you here - i've found that once you setup a system which has minimal distortions... 
Anyone seen audiophile lisence plates passin' by?
04-02-15: NonoiseAll of those topics mentioned have a common thread. They are intricate, require assemblage or manufacture, are capable of inducing awe and wonder at rest, test the boundaries of what we know, require participation which may lead t...

no problem, Abrew19. for completion i should also add that one could have solved the issue of the amp output stage clipping/saturating by buying a bigger XA series pure class-A amp for a lot more $. I.E. if one was made of money, one could have st... 
Digital Amplifier Questions
03-31-15: Noble100Thanks for the info Bombaywalla and Kijanki.I tried the test again using the AM radio. I couldn't even find an AM station that was tunable. There was too much buzzing on the whole range. I'm thinking this is caused by RF leakage ...

03-28-15: Abrew19......Class A sound can be addictive however and many fans are okay with the tradeoffs.... I somewhat agree but, yeah, there are many who would sacrifice a class-A sound since getting a bigger class-A amp to satisfy their needs wo... 
Digital Amplifier Questions
03-29-15: KijankiMy class D amp switches at 500kHz. This square wave is filtered by the Zobel network at about 60kHz. Harmonics are most likely filtered out and main problem is about 1% residue of 500kHz switching frequency present on the speaker ... 
Digital Amplifier Questions
I Don't know why but I thought any RF leakage from class D amps would be closer to the FM band range.Thanks,TimNoble100Noble100, don't know why you were thinking this???FM operates in the 88MHz - 108MHz range i.e. 88 million cycles per second --&g... 
Any Apogee Stage owners out there?

I own B&W speakers that are not inefficient but which respond well to the grunt that the AB designs deliver.isn't this a contradictory statement (it sure looks like one to me)?Since the passing of John Bowers himself in the mid-1980s I haven't...
