| Class A amps or Class D??: Which sounds better?? If you're having to accommodate your speakers you're limiting the potential of your system imo. I love the comment "the speakers do what it wants, not the other way around". They are after all, the weakest link. The amp on the other hand is the he... | |
| Tube guy gets a B&K: tubes vs solid state Okay, you're gettin there! | |
| Tube guy gets a B&K: tubes vs solid state Jim, your next move should be to audition a bunch of reputable ss amps, then archive past hi end stereo articles, and finally hunt down a good 20-30 year old candidate. Something that was considered state of the art then. Find a really good tech t... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Newbee, too bad. Everyone's envy is the guy who never heard of Audiogon, has 5000 cds, and a cheapo system. Onhwy61 said it all! | |
| A mystery for you tech gurus out there Snwbrdrcol, have you switched interconnects/cables around?The chickens always do come home to roost, don't they. | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Bryon and Almarg, are you suggesting lack of neutrality includes any and all perceivable kinds of distortion? If you are, then can we not use "the alternate", aka, accuracy? If we can, then It seems you've summed up this thread. I believe you have... | |
| Risk using amp Wattage than speaker rating? Patentable!!! | |

A "red" laser pick-up is capable of about 1/3 of that. If this sounds better to you, then your analogue system is obviously lacking. "Bl... | |
| Plinius SA50 1990 - Worth replacing Caps? Absolutely! There could be some upgrades available also. Now's the time to end up with a better amp than you started with. Replacement parts alone could be an upgrade. | |
| A mystery for you tech gurus out there You haven't answered Elizabeth. | |
| Vintage Power Amp vs new age power amp I wish you had stated that in reverse. Hence the advent of the vintage enthusiast. IMO, They are actually better. | |
| Best recorded rock song ? Everything you guys have picked so far. Even though I haven't heard a lot of them, I know they all probably deserve mention. My favorite is the one I have in mind till I think of another one. | |
| Risk using amp Wattage than speaker rating? I'm sure Elizabeth can handle a little levity. But all kidding aside, It is very easy to slowly fry your drivers too. It may still sound clean even though the amp is seriously clipping. In this case you won't end it with a bang, but turn it on the... | |
| Vintage Power Amp vs new age power amp I'm not a tube guy, but I happen to have an old Dynakit ST-70 in need of tubes but otherwise in great shape. I have a brand new R. Waters designed driver board and bias module I think I'll finally get around to installing. I ran across an interest... | |
| Risk using amp Wattage than speaker rating? Well, no need to be a fly on your wall, Elizabeth. |
