| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @pstores I do not doubt for a moment your immense satisfaction with the Atma-Sphere amplifiers. Admittedly I have no idea what Ric has or hasn’t actually heard. I’m just intrigued by this very latest no feedback class D amplifier without the ubi... | |
| Accuphase dac 60 It’s your decision obviously, but I would give it more time and accumulate hours. Admittedly I do not own Accuphase , but from what I know of their history/track record this seems a very atypical experience. Their digital sound quality is consiste... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Here is a real sleeper....and maybe a super amp?: Peachtree has just released a The Gan 1 class D amp that has NO FEEDBACK....no op amps......it is pure digital. Takes PCM via coax only and converts it to PWM in software and uses GAN output st... | |
| New Project RS2T transport @robshaw Yes, specify the component name/model and 20 volt/3 amp requirement. I’d ask if they can tailor your umbilical cable length to need. Charles | |
| Aurender N200 Hearing is still good, now is the time to do it ! Never been a better time actually. I understand completely. There are times when you have to stop and smell the roses. You recognized you are in a great situation and wise enough to apprecia... | |
| Aurender N200 @oddiofyl Oh I see. With an amplifier input voltage of 2.4v you’ll be fine with a preamplifier gain of around 15 db or less. My SET mono blocks input voltage is 0.7v, so pretty high sensitivity. However I am doing good with 10db of gain from my ... | |
| Aurender N200 @oddiofyl You have high sensitivity speakers. How much gain will your 101D preamp have? I imagine the 300b amplifier is likely pretty sensitive with an input voltage of 1 volt or less. You won’t need much preamp gain. Charles | |
| Aurender N200 I'm using Forte IV but eventually want a horn loaded bass cabinet like a LaScala or Vittori. The Forte IV sound really good with the Toolshed , will be even better with the 101d preamp. @oddiofyl I understand that direction. I'm more dra... | |
| Aurender N200 @lalitk Yes, every component in the signal path is important! It’s very smart that @oddiofyl wants to improve the quality of his streamer. I’m bewildered by those who say the digital source (CD transport or streamer) matters to a lesser extent t... | |
| Aurender N200 @oddiofyl Congratulations on acquiring the new Aurender N200. I am certain that it will be a wonderful sonic addition to your terrific system. Your Toolshed SET is going to be amplifying a high quality digital signal path.😊 Charles | |
| New Project RS2T transport @robshaw The Fidelizer standard cable length is about 5 or 6 feet. So it depends on on far apart or close you want the RS2T and Nikola II. I have them side by side so 18” is fine for me. I do not like the rat’s nest of long cables all over the p... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @soix +1 I believe that @ricevs means well with his suggested modifications, but it's easy to be an armchair quarterback and critique the hard efforts of others. Ric have you given thought to bringing an amplifier to market loaded with all of y... | |
| New Project RS2T transport Yes, looks like quality parts probably throughout. I was impressed to see a Furutech IEC as well. @lpretiring Indeed. All you have to do is let those quality parts steadily burn-in. This is why in my opinion the Nikola II is worth the higher ... | |
| New Project RS2T transport @lpretiring My RS2-T and Nikola II improve every day and last night's listening was quite enjoyable. With only 19 hours on the unit and 3 settling days I'm really looking forward to what's ahead Yep! You’re on the right track and sound qualit... | |
| New Project RS2T transport @robshaw I’m happy happy to see that you continue to enjoy the RS2T and have not encountered any problems. The 3 LPSs you mentioned are all high quality and well regarded. I don’t believe that you could go wrong with any of these paired with the... |
