| Do all Class D amps lack soundstage depth? Tholt, when I said "try another amp" I meant to say try another brand/vendor of amp. I did not mean to suggest that you keep trying the same model/vendor over and over again. There will be a "right" combination, but it may take a while to find it.... | |
| Do all Class D amps lack soundstage depth? Look guys, it's easy: not every amp mates well to every speaker. A typical audiophile setup is a hodge-podge collection of semi-compatible parts.Try a different amp. What works for me or another guy on this thread may not work for you. Try a diffe... | |
| Do all Class D amps lack soundstage depth? Ironmine, I think that we all understood what you were asking. My point was that I can't recommend a specific amp that will substantially alter your soundstage. As I said and in my opinion, that is speaker issue. If you had poor results with the T... | |
| Do all Class D amps lack soundstage depth? It's probably not the amp, per se. It's more likely to be the match between your amp and your speakers. Have you checked the power ratings, efficiency and impedence between your amp and speakers?My experience is that soundstage is affected mostly ... | |
| Speakers for YBA passion 100 Amp If you like the "French" sound (sweet and detailed, but not hard or overly analytical) I might suggest that you pair your YBA amp with a pair of speakers that will mirror that sound quality.JM Labs/Focal, Triangle and JM Reynaud all make excellent... | |
| Entry level tube amps? That's a pretty nice system you have there. I was going to suggest that you look at new speakers, but...I am of the opinion that source components (and speakers) make the largest change in overall sound quality, and that the improvements diminish ... | |
| Cool-running tube or SS amp for small room Channel Islands Audio D-100 or D-200 monoblocks. These are the best of the Class-D amps, in my opinion.http://www.ciaudio.com/ | |
| Entry level tube amps? What is the rest of your system consist of? What are you currently using as a pre? If you are all SS, you will get more tube bang for your buck adding a tube preamp first, and then going to a tub amp. | |
| Should I get a new cart, TT or phono stage? I agree with Swampwalker and Phasecorrect - your system looks OK and you would have to spend a bit to make a large improvement. But you should check to see if everthng is setup correctly. First, check your cables. Then, check that you are using th... | |
| advice on amp - $3,500 maximum budget I don't own a pair, but I have heard the Channel Islands Audio D-100 and D-200 monoblocks and they sound great. Easily the best Class D amps for the money, IMHO. | |
| B&W vs Von Schweikert house sound? Why don't you listen to both of them for yourself and be your own judge? Lots of folks like B&W, and VS has a loyal following as well. So obviously both vendors must be doing somethig right, for at least some segment of the listening public. A... | |
| Ripping 700 CD's to HD using FLAC-How much space? Starcon,Jitter is not a result of storage technology. It's an I/O overflow issue due to the USB/USC 2.0 bus spec using a non-optimized asynchronous communication protocol. Solid state disks (SSDs) are very fast - too fast, frankly, for the bus IMH... | |
| true bookshelf speaker There is a reason why most "bookshelf" speakers sound better when stand mounted. It usually has little to do with the stands themselves, but with allowing some space around the speaker (sides if not rear) and also for proper height positioning.Thi... | |
| Large soundstage at 2 ft distance? I unclear on your requirements? Are you looking for a bookshelf speaker or a desktop computer speaker? Most "bookshelf" sized speakers will need to be stand mounted w/ some air around them in order to image properly. | |
