| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Also, there's more to a Class D amp than just the power module. There are input stages, power supplies, yadda, yadda. The proof is in the hearing. That 6 Moons review was pretty impressive and thorough, IMHO. | |
| Wyred 4 Sound STP SE and ST-1000 I stand corrected, Theloveman. This must have happened within the last year or so. SST was Bongiorno's company. I know he passed recently, so perhaps as his health declined, he sold to W4S. In any case, AFAIK, the designs for each amp are totally ... | |
| Found good & affordable amp for Magnepans Helpful and thorough review. Thanks. Just for the record, Pandora (the free version) is 128 kbps, roughly 10% of the bit depth of CDs. IMHO, the similarities you heard across different recordings could come from your source gear or your speakers. ... | |
| 3-ch amps vs. mono blocks vs. stereo amp + mono? Budget for your preamp? | |
| Improving sound quality of streaming setup One issue with Lewinskih01's suggestions. I like his ideas a lot, but as a Squeezebox Touch user, I am always thinking about what I will do when it dies (Logitech has discontinued the Squeezebox platform, and replacements for failed units are no l... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Sorry about that, Ultimatezap. At least you will have something to keep you busy until you get back to work.BTW, I neglected to mention, about 11 years ago, I sold NHT at a regional audio-video store. I always liked the NHTs, and frankly, they wer... | |
| Recommendation on soft dome bookshelfs under $1K Easy - Silverline Audio Minuete Supreme. Silk dome tweeter, $700/pr new, and punch way above their price and weight, IMHO. | |
| D-Sonic peak current output compared to other Cjug - FYI, the price difference between the Merril and the D-Sonic is big enough to drive a truck through. I know Merril personally, trust him, and will be auditioning his amps this year. However, I doubt I will be able to afford them anytime soo... | |
| can a new amp amp tame my speakers? English - In absolute terms, no, it doesn't mean much. Coupled with your speakers' efficiency rating and room size, it can mean a lot. IIRC, Yamaha AVRs used to be widely criticized for not having enough output. Especially when tested by mags like... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound STP SE and ST-1000 Two different companies, Hifimaniac. I recommend visiting each company's web site for details. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Mapman - Agreed. I know that the number of watts per dollar is not the only, nor the most important, aspect of a power amp. But I am very curious about the D-Sonic amps. These have massive power, and at least one very good review in the audio pres... | |
| Squeezebox Touch repair? It is sad, indeed, but it may be time to move on. | |
| Squeezebox Dead? Mapman - do the Roku boxes pass 96/24 FLAC files? How do they connect with the home network, wifi? My SBT still works, but it is the replacement Logitech sent me when my original SBT died, so I remain nervous. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Ultimatezap: I rarely come up from the man cave! I think my kids miss me, but the wife, not so much. You can try to organize an audio club if you want. Start small with meetings every other month. Food is always a good way to attract people. You m... | |
| can a new amp amp tame my speakers? FWIW, taming my bright upper-mids and lower treble was a very long, involved process. My original speakers, with metal dome tweets, were very harsh at higher volumes. An amp upgrade, from a Rotel to an Odyssey Audio Stratos, did a lot to clean up ... |
