| AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House And @twoleftears good to know Tvad liked them. He's got trustworthy ears in my book. | |
| AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House @mapman It's half marketing tool, half future upgrade path. They take old tubes and put the amplifying transistors in it. I believe at this point in time it's all for show, but eventually they'll release new amplification modules and you can jus... | |
| Looking for a DAC under 2k Another Audio Mirror vote. Love mine and it's beaten a number of competitors in my system (ifi iDSD pro, Matrix X-Sabre Pro, Shiit Bifrost 2, Lampizator Amber 3, PS Audio Directstream DAC, & Holo Audio May KTE). | |
| Denafrips Iris DDC won't work with Mac Book Air running Audirvana Would love to hear a report of sound quality (and comparisons to your Shiit DDC) once you've got the kinks worked out... Thanks! | |
| The Best Live Recordings on Youtube I'll submit three videos from the channel that haven't been discussed in the thread for consideration. In all cases, I'd argue the performers perfectly bottle a specific human emotion and transmit it via their music. And I'll agree with you in t... | |
| The Best Live Recordings on Youtube @schubert I'll agree with your steps, but not that they're at all related to the "realness" of the music. They are simply related to complexity and the technical proficiency and expertise needed to create the end product. Like I said, the accomp... | |
| What To Replace A Pair Of Lamm Ml2 Monoblocks With? Need More Power @nightfall Lots of information on Vandersteen pairings out there. I'd consider reaching out for suggestions from @tomic601 -- https://forum.audiogon.com/users/tomic601. He's a helpful and very experienced Vandersteen user and can likely point yo... | |
| AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House @twoleftears Totally agree. I don't get it. Hopefully additional commentary is more useful. I'd love to hear these amps, I've read only positive reviews with a few neutral sprinkled in. That's a good distribution. | |
| Speakers for Computer My ex needed some speakers when we split and she got her own place. I recommended Edifier (available for $100-$500 on Amazon, etc.), and really enjoy them for the price when I've been over. They have amplification and a dac built in and can conn... | |
| The Best Live Recordings on Youtube @pesky_wabbit And agreed on little richard. It's a shame the recordings are so poor. They regularly just spit out high frequency hash... such a shame. Like you say though, at least there's some record. The man can control a room. | |
| The Best Live Recordings on Youtube @schubert Thanks for posting. I’m open to every genre, although you’re correct that classical is not in my normal wheelhouse. I’d already put all of your suggestions on the list, regardless.I’d argue with the "real" label though. I find it very un... | |
| The Best Live Recordings on Youtube List updated with these great suggestions. I particularly liked the King Gizzard. I’d actually never heard them before, thanks. Give me raw emotion and creativity over technical perfection any time...Here’s a re-link to it for anyone coming in to ... | |
| How does my MF A308 compare to modern integrated amps in the $3000-$6000 range? If you do start wandering, I'd try to start sampling totally different typologies (e.g., a full tube integrated, a class d integrated, an otl) rather than just sticking with other class a/b amps. You'll learn more that way.And as always, amp to sp... | |
| How does my MF A308 compare to modern integrated amps in the $3000-$6000 range? I'm with @jjss49 Mostly what you'll find out there will only be different, not unequivocally better or worse. Unless there's a particular aspect of your sound that's lacking and needs addressed (and is easily attributable to amplification), I wou... | |
| Jerry Garcia’s McIntosh amp What a great thread. Thanks folks. I know I could find some examples myself, but looking to tap the expertise in here... Any suggestions for a great YouTube video (w quality video and audio) of a great GD performance?I'm collecting videos that fal... |
