| How can I measure the noise on my AC mains with a 2ch oscilloscope? I'm definitely sold on the Audioquest Niagara solution at this point, but Shunyata, despite a very different design philosophy, also makes superb gear. Just be sure that you deploy comparable power cables on your amplification components. The co... | |
| How can I measure the noise on my AC mains with a 2ch oscilloscope? I went through a similar exercise a few years ago, and after getting a zillion contradictory opinions from well-meaning audiophile buddies, finally brought in the big guns -- the electrical contractor who managed the replacement of Michael Fremer’... | |
| Mark Levinson Has Saved Me And My MUSIC!! <Sorry but chinese equipment is not a synonymus with trash... Sometimes yes sometimes not... @mahgister Thank you for having the courage to post this politically incorrect and troll-prodding, but so true, observation. I all-too-often roll my e... | |
| Give Up on Bacch? @treepmeyer So it sounds like you’ve made your decision, to keep the unit for now & eat the $200 if you have to? I evaluated similar technologies at length back in the 90s, when I was a tech journalist & consultant, and ultimately found ... | |
| Give Up on Bacch? Here's what I do when faced wtih a decision like this. Flip a coin and, in your head, tell yourself that you're gonna do whatever the coin said to do. Live with that decision for 24 hours. If it's the wrong decision, you'll know it. It'll nag ... | |
| Opinions on PS Audio Direct Stream DAC (Mk 1) ***Before buying, read the recent Stereophile review of the MkII, which provides some useful first-hand comparisons. | |
| Aurender AP20 Impressions @blisshifi So it sounds like the T+A receiver might be a better match for my system, which seems particularly vulnerable to the type of sibilance-fingernail/chalkboard tendencies, subtle as they are, of Class D in general -- and even my current ... | |
| Aurender AP20 Impressions @blisshifi Great post. Thanks for taking the time. Re: Comparing sound quality, compared to the less-expensive T+A R 2500 R (which you also sell): Similar, better, neither, big difference, small? Digital, audio? | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue Anyone who’s having trouble "getting" Joni Mitchell ought to pick up Lloyd Whitesell’s book "The Music of Joni Mitchell." He analyzes every track in her catalog in terms of specific parameters: melody, lyrics/poetry, harmonic structure, personae, ... | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue Well, as a huge fan of the run spanning Beggar's Banquet through Sticky Fingers, my reaction to Exiles was the same as yours. I WANTED to like it, I believed it when people so much smarter than me told me I was SUPPOSED to like it, but I just co... | |
| T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp Thanks again, @blisshifi and @mgrif104 I think my long search for the right integrated (and right dealership) is almost over. Everything I learn about T+A suggests that this German outfit is well on its way to carving out a prestigious reputatio... | |
| T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp @lldd (and bliss) Thanks for the contributions to this thread -- exactly what I'm looking for. Unfortunately, I'm in a state that has no audiophile dealerships, so I'm relying on dealers like Bliss (and Audiogon members, of course!) to ensure th... | |
| T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp @doyle3433 Really? I didn't know that Aurender made an integrated. ========== Looking at the specs, this does look like a great product, despite potentially being one of those "great sounding Class D amps" I referred to earlier. I do need an ... | |
| T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp @doyle3433 Thanks, good feedback. But to put things into perspective, could you (and I mean in very general terms) compare teh overall sound quality to any other similarly priced configurations? Really, I'm getting more & more sold on this ... | |
