| Hypex Ncore NC400 I'm pretty happy with the Ncore amp I built, but I'm more of a solid state person anyway. | |
| Selling dispute. Please comment. You didn't say who the amp manufacturer is. There are some that produce nicely-printed manuals, but many others for which the PDF you'd print at home is as good OR BETTER than what ships new. | |
| Focal diablos vs Dynaudio focus 380 PLEASE HELP $7.5K should be more than enough for buying a pair Confidence C2 speakers which should be much better than the Focus you are considering. I wouldn't be so sure that the C2 beats the new Focus floorstanders. | |
| Hate this, I need an AV receiver. Help me choose Just get a modest DAC with optical input. It will almost certainly equal and probably better the DAC in any low-cost AV receiver you'd get, then you can just use your existing preamp and amp. Toslink's shortcomings are greatly exaggerated. Use a g... | |
| Class A amps or Class D??: Which sounds better?? That was brilliant, wolfy. In a Professor Irwin Corey sort of way. | |
| What is the best power cord for pass labs xa100.5? There is no doubt in my mind Nelson Pass selects the best power cord for his products.That was a joke, right? All high end manufacturers bundle appropriately robust but otherwise very basic and inexpensive cords with their gear. They do this becau... | |
| Unusual TAS bomb Most the reviews now are not much more than advertorials. Sometimes you get a good one. I too loved TAS back in the day. But a negative review back then could practically kill a small manufacturer. | |
| VSA VR-3 Upgrades. Has anyone done them? Results? Wouldn't more efficient woofers necessitate changes to the crossover? | |
| Don't read you'll be sorry PBN said, "you get what you pay for," but I'd argue that's not really true here. If it is indeed Rockefeller, it's still a huge bargain at the price, right?There's one other piece of the puzzle that hasn't been addressed. Someone needs to cut open... | |
| Cables for Harbeth-Luxman match? Is there a problem with what you have now? It looks like it would be a good match. | |
| Rega RP3 or Pro-ject Expression III? Thanks Kiko65. The current issue of the Hi-Fi Critic contains a comparison review of the RP3 and RP6, notes significant differences, and concludes that the RP6 represents an even greater value than the RP3. Unfortunately, the comparison was with t... | |
| California Audio Show 2012 I think we're seeing an arms race in several areas: cabinet materials, cabinet construction methods, driver materials, and crossover components. (Just going with top of the line Mundorf caps can send parts costs into the stratosphere.) Whether or ... | |
| Rega RP3 or Pro-ject Expression III? Kiko65 -- you're using a Lyra Delos on an RP3? That's impressive.Upmarket a little, has anyone compared the Rega RP6 with the Clearaudio Concept? Both around $1400 without cart, both unusually handsome, but I'm curious about their sonic characteri... | |
| California Audio Show 2012 The Gallos sounded much better on Saturday. I also spent more time with the Dynaudio Focus 340's and Margules yesterday. Excellent. And as Audioquest was part of that room, the digital source was a Macbook Pro with the Dragonfly USB DAC (which loo... | |
| Opinions on Reference LP Digitization System ... Rod -- great write-up. Could you comment on what differences you heard when you switched from SUT -> LIO-8 to using Andros -> Placette -> LIO-8? RIAA in digital would =seem= to be a good idea when digitizing LPs, but apparently you found ... |
