| PS Audio PWT - cd transport augwest I am sorry that you're having this trouble. I have used the PWT in my system for over 6 years and haven't encountered this problem. Mine is obvious an older version. I wonder how common this malfunction is. You'd think that this could be... | |
| Can SMPS based preamps/amps sound organic ? Personally I don't get the sense that anyone is suggesting that LPS suck. This thread is conveying that SMPS can sound every bit as good and that technically LPS is "primative" relatively speaking. There are multitudes of components with LPS that ... | |
| Can SMPS based preamps/amps sound organic ? Al,Without a doubt implementation and sheer designer talent are the major determinates of a product's quality and performance. You are unquestionably wise in avoiding the endless non-productive squabbles that are all too common. I've backed off m... | |
| Can SMPS based preamps/amps sound organic ? Jaybe,I'll check that site and read the commentary presented. If the prevailing argument centers around measurements and specifications that won't do it for me. The bottom line criteria for me is what does it sound like? Al, I know you are a te... | |
| Can SMPS based preamps/amps sound organic ? Given the positive and encouraging comments here with regard to SMPS what explains the continued popularity of linear power supplies? It leads me to suspect that they must have some significant inherent justification. Or is it just stubbornness... | |
| Your single favorite component I greatly appreciate all of my current components. The OP specifically says to name one. Coincident Frankenstein MK II SET amplifier, getting it was a transformative experience for me. Charles, | |

However it’s still a very worthwhile and valuable exercise. You reference using your ears and heart, absolutely the right a... | |

| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Jafreeman,I'm happy for you and your sucessful results with these Black fuses. Improving your system sound quality is always gratifying. Charles, | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Mapman,Yes I see your point, expanding the potential field of speakers that could be used successfully. Zero NFB amplifiers would require more specific /careful speaker matching. But oh so good when that match is right 😊.Charles, | |
| Seems I'm really done! Hi David,We all can agree that actually listening to something is the best method to make a sure buying decision. However this isn’t always practical or possible. I’ve been able to obtain first rate products based on impressions posted by trusted ... | |
| Seems I'm really done! Hello John,You posted words of wisdom based on many years of listening experience. One pertinent factor for long term contentment with one's system is what is the ultimate objective? You mention that you were perfectly happy with a system set u... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi goldencutt,Congratulations on your very gratifying outcome with the Black fuses. Charles, | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Mapman, I don’t believe that ARC gets the use of NFB anymore (or less ) right than does VAC. I say this because it strictly depends on the speaker in question. For example Al’s speaker sounds better with his amplifier’s zero NFB setting . In fact ... |
