| Point of diminishing returns When there are more reasons NOT to buy than TO buy.Meaning spending more money may yield improvements but there are downsides which outweigh the improvements.For example, a bigger amp would have more power but sound quality would be worse due to e... | |
| Which budget SS amps use least Global Feedback? Ohh, SHORTEST negative feedback loop - 9mm. | |
| Maximum Theoretical Speaker Efficiency Going with Gs5556 theory of 10% efficient and say, 93 dB. Each doubling of power equals 3dB increase in efficiency. so that would be:20% 9630% 9940% 10250% 10560% 10870% 11180% 11490% 117100% 120dBMy logic is probably pretty messed up BTW. | |
| Which budget SS amps use least Global Feedback? Agree, older Nelson Pass stuff. Also the 47 Labs stuff or their cheaper gainclone knockoffs, or the $30.00 Sonic Impact "T" amp if you can get by with 10-15 watts. | |
| World Cup of Audio D_Edwards, how about ATC's system 70?"A quarter century of ATC research reaches a climax".That's ATC's quote, not mine.My vote would be Japan or France. I can't name a specific system but Japanese and French (PHY?) seems to have the best single dr... | |
| This should be controversial....hearing tests... LOL, you guys crack me up!! | |
| Why so many amplifiers for sale? Kt_88, try being thankful for what you have. That frame of mind goes a long way in ending an unsatiable desire for more and more, IMHO.As Americans, we have so much in the way of material stuff. But as you note we still aren't satisified. I don't ... | |
| This should be controversial....hearing tests... Who's Bingo? I've never seen him post on these forums. | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? "way things look on Agon, many are taking this advice".Scary thing, this internet. Largely uncensored flow of ideas outside the control of "the industry". | |
| Sound Dynamics 300Ti Replacement. Omega speakers maybe. You would need over 94dB efficient I would think. | |
| $100 Challenge: Build this system Aiwa XR-EC12 was their finest mini and $80 on Ebay on closeout a while back. Got it for my girlfriend and she's pretty happy with it.After the $300 Denon UD-M31, the Aiwa is my favorite mini. | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Don't go for the golden ring. Be happy with "good enough". It doesn't matter how much you spend, no system is perfect.It's one thing to go through many different systems to determine your preference in sound, but eventually you will have to accept... | |
| Tired of boring, polite, laid-back sound..... Exposure is British with PRAT like Naim but not as laid-back in H-F as Creek. More transparent than Naim.Musical Fidelity is laid back, boring, polite - good for classical as designer plays that type of music. | |
| persoanlity and speaker preference Sure it's "just" a backup speaker today. Sounds innocent enough. Pretty soon you'll be sneaking to audio dealers after work for a quick fix. Meeting in back alleys for a hook-up. Hot tips from your audio broker on that latest tweak.Before you know... | |
| avoiding component purchase mistakes: part 1 How about liberals like tubes and conservatives like solid state?Fundamentalists take it a step further with digital amps.Meanwhile ultra liberals go for S.E.T. amps.That ought to get the ball rolling :-) |
