| SS amp mosfet 'haze' - ever experienced this? Thanks Sutts, interesting comparison to the First Watt as that also looks like a good design concept.Muralman1, from what I understand the definition of "chip amp" they are NOT digital as in switching power supply. They are analog amps where virtu... | |
| SS amp mosfet 'haze' - ever experienced this? Agree about chip amps being great but don't think they have the drive of bi-polar solid state. They just can't pass that much current.Digital and chip amps are not the same thing. Look at measurements and digital switching amps (Class T or whateve... | |
| Your best picks for 2006 Best Speakers under 4K. * Intuitive Design Summits* Spendor* Dali* Fostex F200 single driver design by Bob BrinesWorst speakers:* I really disliked the Harbeths. Maybe that's why I liked the Spendors :-)* Sonus Faber Grand Pianos were atrocious.* No #3, guess I need to g... | |
| Advice on Arcam I'd go with Creek 4330R (one for sale now for ~$375).Arcam is more laid back and polite. Creek more punchy and dynamic. Creek is voiced to match Epos speakers.Audio Advisor is closing out the A50 line for $700 NEW. This was the successor to the 43... | |
| Current mode vs voltage mode Sean or anyone? I had thought this thread was a question about current vs. voltage based amps. I don't see the type of I/C used as relating to how the amplification is accomplished.Sort of like Nelson Pass's amps are current driven whereas most ar... | |
| Gainclone chip amp The 3875 is lowest power - maybe 20-40 watts. Others are higher power 60-100 watts if memory serves me. | |
| Need small speaker for less than $750. Ideas? Try RAW Acoustics full range monitor for $640.00. I can't think of a better speaker to fit your needs. | |
| Isolation for speakers on spikes Heres an interesting article:The Sound of Surprise | |
| Buying decision time, or Time for a sanity check? I buy if I think I will be satisfied with the product.But since hi-end audio is largely about:* creating dissatisfaction - otherwise there is no inpetus to keep buying.* there is no consensus on right and wrong, only preferences and opinions.* the... | |
| Gainclone chip amp Gmood1, where did your "system" link go? Any changes or have you found sonic nirvana? | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Here's one explanation.Should a good system sound bad with bad recording?Is hi-end audio as it exists today relevant to what most people listen to? | |
| Am I a burning out audiophile???? As I see it, there are too many choices out there. How can anyone possibly find the "Best" system with hundred of speakers and thousands of combinations to choose from.Secondly, each system has it's strengths. Depending on the song, volume, your m... | |
| Boost system performance via isolation? I should explain. While rollerblocks are directly coupled to the shelf unlike isolation devices like sorbothane, pneumatic, or magnetic levitation; they are still undamped in the horizontal plane.Undamped IMHO, means the CDP rings and adds strange... | |
| Boost system performance via isolation? I've used rollerblocks and did not like the sound. No one wanted to buy them from me so I guess they are not a popular item.I like ceramic foot sanding stones. Only a couple of bucks and these provided the best sound unless you want to "tweak" the... | |
