| Why do audiophiles shun feedback in amplifiers? Csontos,I imagine we all pretty much have the same goal but different approaches can lead one in different directions down the path toward that goal. I just keep it simple,hear live music and figure out the way to come close to replicating it in y... | |
| Why do audiophiles shun feedback in amplifiers? Csontos,I`m speaking in a general sense (not just comments on this thread). There are people who don`t believe that live music is useful or beneficial for judging the merits of audio components. Some advocate truefulness to the recording source as... | |

Onemug, Yes, the objective (at least for me)is to capture as much of the true sound of live instruments that`s reasonably possible.That`s the best template I know of. I realize others disagree but I`ve found no better way to obtain good sound at h... | |

| toning down the ps audio perfect wave dac 'Treble heavy" emphasis and higher or improved resolution are`nt the same. True resolution improvement is desirable.Heavy treble is an unwanted coloration.The MK II upgrade seems the direction to go.Regards, | |
| How big of a difference do amps make? Fla,The Polish review is the best description and accurate review of the Takatsui 300b.That group just nailed it.Regards, | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... "If you are really sooo happy with them you really should`nt care what I wrote or what I thought"Amen.. | |
