| sharp and piercing high pitch /frequency coming out from Harbeth C7 I have had problems with sounds generated by other DACs running when I am using my newest & best one. Be sure that the only equipment powered up is the gear you are listening to. The fact that playing LPs is fine is proof that's it's not your ... | |
| BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone? I have never heard a streaming service that sounds as good as a CD. I don't know why it's all the rage unless it's access to a vast range of music. But you can get a vast range of music from You Tube or from the online branch of many radio station... | |
| High end Class D amps? The Starke Sound AD4.320 is as good as the Purifi Audio modules and is a complete, ready to go out of the box amp, As good as anything (yes, anything!) out there. I just bought my second one. Check Google for reviews. On sale at Black Friday pric... | |
| Is it better to have two matched subs or one Hello salevick! For classical music, one is fine. For more ooomph in pipe organ music, percussion, etc. two is obviously better. The big reason for one per channel is home theater use. Crashes, alien approaches, creatures in the bushes sneaking up... | |
| 100 W Tube Amplifier Malfunctioned It sure is sad when stuff blows up! My condolences. the issue could be the frequency of the power; 50 or 60 cycles. A transformer made for 110 volts should be ok from 100 - 125 volts. A transformer made for 50 cps may overheat at 60 cps; that's a ... | |
| Audiophile AC Outlets Hello pgaulke! Any big hardware store will have tamper resistant (kids can't get shocked), very heavy duty 20 amp duplex outlets (Pass & Seymore - LeGrande; they are black nylon faces - hospital grade are yellow and not as good) and blue plas... | |
| High end Class D amps? The Starke Sound AD4.320 is on a "Black Friday" sale for a preposterous price of $839. It is as good as the Purifi Audio modules in the NAD M33 that are getting great reviews. I own both and ordered another Starke today. Check it out! For a review... | |
| The NAD M33 will cancel your complaints about Class D As the owner of the Purifi Audi amp modules and the Starke Sound AD4.320 (on sale at a ridiculous price - under $900 - Blsck Friday and all that - I'm ordering another one today) this new approach to Class D these two companies are using will reor... | |
| Too terminate or not Hello ghulamr. Parts Conexxion, in Canada is selling Duelund Dual DCA 12 GA speaker wire at $31.95 US/meter. Twenty meters would run you about US$640 and be just about unbeatable. You don't need do-dads on the end. Use it with bare ends. The 16 g... | |
| What is the best audiophile speaker for a tiny square room? Earphones! | |
| Is it my amp or my speakers? I build speakers and amps. Recently I acquired the Purifi Audio EVAL1 power amp modules. These use the output modules used in the NAD 33 which is getting rave reviews. It is amazing how a great amp can make good speakers perform their best. Starke... | |
| Tube or SS Hello xiang! You have heard about the new Class D modules NAD is using, yes? Right now, Starke Sound is selling their rival AD4.320 power amp (4 channels at over 200 Watts each, can be "bridged" to give you a stereo amp with over 400 wpc into 4 ... | |
| Pass XA 25 or Bryston 3B3? I am a big fan of Nelson Pass, but his Class A amps put out LESS as the speaker impedance drops. Check the specs on your speakers and see if the impedance drops, especially in the low frequency region. Any drops below 6 ohms or so will work agains... | |
| Would the dynaudio special 40's be a noticeable upgrade over the ELAC UF5? Try the recent Golden Ear BRS speakers. At $1600 or so per pair, they are very reasonable. I have seen several great reviews for them and have their Triton 1s and Triton 5s and think very highly of them. | |
| Telefunken vacuum tube E88CC-TK; NOS versus brand new. NOS Telefunken 12AX7s are available at more reasonable prices from Victor Kung at vkung821@gmail.com. He imports the EleKit amps and more. Tell him Boomer Bill sent you. They work amazingly well for me. |
