| Amp Search and Upgrade The Parasound amps i have heard are warm sounding. So a new amp may take a little getting used to. NOTE: I bought an upgrade from Pd Creative for the Bluesound. Definite improvement. $132. Not a linear power supply but the Meanwell PSU is qui... | |
| Affordable GaN FET amp from Peachtree Audio Using the Bluesound or DAC for volume control usually leads to bit stripping. Some DAC have a good volume control. I don't remember what kind that is or what brand DAC has these. | |
| Pass INT-25 better than Wilsenton R8? When I bought my XA25, I was instructed to leave it on for 5 days playing music through it. It does sound better if left on all the time. The instructions say warm it up for 1 hour. As long as the amp is in Class A, this amp sounds great. This... | |
| Audiophiles on Audiogon. I know what my system sounds like and I bought it with my money. I like music and I have enjoyed tinkering and improving. Jack sounds like another banned member who learned to be passive aggressive and not revealing his former identity through... | |
| Pink Floyd’s brand new song He condemned the Ukrainian war but disagrees with military retaliation. PF and Waters had a semi recent spat over liner notes. It does get a little sticky when he was the self imposed leader and creative force on several albums. | |
| Pink Floyd’s brand new song This is a noble effort and Gilmour's life is filled with such. Disappointed that Roger didn't want to participate. | |
| Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good? Step by step my system gets better. And the poorer records come along with the system, most of the time. When I hear music that I have heard many times in the car or radio then I hear it on my system it is always a pleasant surprise. Recordings... | |
| High sensitivity bookshelf speakers to pair with SET amp? Nearfield romanticism. I have not heard but Fritz are easy to drive. PS horn speakers may be a different color but not a bad color. | |
| Autoformer/Passive Preamp vs. 6SN7 vs. 12AT7 with Class A, Class D, and Tubes As I built my system, kind of on my own, volume control was not as simple as just putting a preamp in the system and walking away. Volume control, attenuators have many different configurations and levels of quality playback. System specs: DAC o... | |
| Least Expensive Power Conditioner/Surge Protector That Won't Worsen Sound Mr Carpathian, I beg to differ. Here in Iowa we have 140mph Derechos. Took out 70,000 or more trees in Cedar Rapids alone. South is getting lots of storms this spring. Good luck and enjoy the music. There were some good comments from atmosph... | |
| Concentric drivers We always called it intermodulated distortion. I always thought adding a sub and cutting off the two bottom octaves helped. I have no measurements to back that up. Do most single driver speakers usually get set up with a sub. I would lump the ... | |
| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? Pass XA25 will put out over 80W AB. I don't like that sound. If you stay in class A, it is a forever amp. I tried to find an impedance curve but couldn't. Adding a sub with a crossover point less than 100 Hz will take load off your main amp. ... | |
| Current Questions High current amps are heavy. That's a rule of thumb. Transformers and heat syncs. Current creates heat. I understand the "I" for current and its origin. Why do all or most electrical items use the letter "A" example: 1.2A | |
| Intergrated Amp suggestions for B&W 805d4 Let me put on my shield first. I always thought the MAC stuff sounded kind of muffled. Could be other things, but that is what I consistently hear. That's just me If I recall, I have seen Classe paired with B&W. I have Pass but not sure h... | |
| Let me explain something to you jive turkeys. I like good music new and old. Like wow man. Sounds corny doesn't it. |
