| Need recommendation for a CD player Absolutely right dorkwad. I just got a full-blown MW 5400ES on Friday and the sound is ridiculous. Was using a stock 5400ES for about a month prior and was very impressed with it, but this MW player, well, now I finally know what real "palpability... | |
| Class D Technology READ my first post George. It was talking about MY FRIEND’S H2O Class D amps with his Scintillas in challenge to your statements trashing all Class D amps as inferior as if there was no difference between them. I normally do not need to qualify my... | |
| Class D Technology georgelofi:"The Apogee’s in 1ohm mode were never meant to be driven with tube amps, especially ones like you mentioned, they needed big s/s amps like Krells, Classe, Mark Levinson, yes and even the earlier big JR’s, ones that could pump current in... | |
| Class D Technology It’s about sound George. Obviously from your many condescending posts, you consider yourself the foremost "guru". Try a little humility and you might learn something.Best to you George,Dave | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Hi o,I thought that the prices might get your attention. It can easily cost $5-10K to correctly/completely treat a room with ASC products.Correcting your immediate problem may be as simple as placing absorptive panels on your right wall. As you sa... | |
| Class D Technology "One of our audiogon friends uses class D amp (H20) with Apogee Scintilla in 1 ohm mode with great results." georgelofi:"Then I feel sorry for this person as he has never heard his Scintilla’s at their best. It may work, but at their best?? FAR FR... | |

| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. "The diameter of the Tube Trap, not the length determines the low frequency cutoff. Only Tube Traps have built-in diffusive reflection panels to maintain ambience control. Tube Traps work best in areas where there is heavy bass, such as the corner... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Hi o,If I recall correctly, the full-round ASC products have an absorptive material over half the outer surface and a reflective material over the other half, such that rotating them will provide different tuning effects. Seems that this might be ... | |
| Is OPPO losing it's way? Great AC quality and isolation will improve all equally. | |
| Is OPPO losing it's way? "when did oppo ever make a $1200 universal sound as good as a $4k sacd player ?lol"When it was modded by ModWright or Exemplar Audio and cost $3700 - $5000. Then watch out. | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Hi o,That's quite a compliment and also a very kind way to get your thread back on track. I am afraid that I have exhausted my knowledge of acoustical treatments here already.I will be happy to try to answer any questions that anyone might have. ... | |
| What SS preamp compares to a tube preamp All of the above are exceptionally fine components. The differences between the best tube and SS gear per se is less than the differences between house sounds of each. It is a matter of personal preference, flexibility, and system compatibility a... | |
