| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. If a tune isn't grabbing your attention emotionally, without questioning "why" you should Ilike it...it isn't for you. Well, that's true, don't buy / listen to what you don't like, but it is also true in art that the temporal and historical co... | |
| GaN, Hypex & ICEpower Don't know much about the current buyers, but lets hope others will jump in. | |
| GaN, Hypex & ICEpower GaN amps are brand new to the market, and very expensive, but you should start to read about owners on here soon. From spec-manship, Hypex claims much lower damping factor than ICEpower, and better compatibility with low impedance speakers. From a... | |
| The Modern DAC killed High Resolution Music - has Stereophile proven it? We need some discussion of which is better or what are the pros and cons of each. @drbarney1 I am not the administrator of Audiogon, my friend. If you want to have that discussion you can start your own thread on the topic and I’m sure many will ... | |
| Stereophile, Pass Integrated and personal taste Hi @dpac996 I'm very happy that you are a true Pass fanboy. However, what I'm asking here is if we can get to specifics of one amp. Have you heard this particular integrated and can you tell anyone how it sounds compared to other Pass amps, or ot... | |
| GaN, Hypex & ICEpower GaN is a material, gallium nitride. The material has recently been used to develop high speed semiconductors including transistors. It’s recent use in Class D amplifiers is interesting because it raises the switching frequencies which, of course, ... | |
| Stereophile, Pass Integrated and personal taste So I am curious if anyone has actually heard the Int 25, and how they felt it compared to other Pass amps, and other amps in general.Is there something to match up between the distortion profile and listener impressions??Best,Erik | |
| New Parasound blows fuse? Retry the fuse. It’s quite possible the fuse you started with was damaged in transit. Second one blows, unplug it and have it serviced. Best,E | |
| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. both?? | |
| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. Also was he building off of or responding to any other artists? That may help too.Thank you.Erik | |
| AVR + Amp: Mixing new with the old and wading into the Audiophile pool Anthem is absolutely where you should go. :) Then if you still feel the need for better amps, you can add a Luxman. | |
| Stereophile, Pass Integrated and personal taste I don’t think this is a bad measuring amp, at all. I am fascinated by how to make an amp that sounds great and is not neutral. If an amp is not neutral, it’s going to appeal to some and not to others. My favorite amps of all times measure super ba... | |
| What creates the effortlessness in sound reproduction? Hi Huy,Talk to them. They'll help you get set up. Have a budget in mind. :) They are really pros at this. I'm an amateur by comparison. Best,E | |
| You are invited on a "trip down memory lane". Speaker I never actually had room for: Snell A/III with CJ premiere pre and probably a modern amp. I can't think of any tube amps that would drive it well, or any SS amps from the period that aren't seriously outclassed by most modern amps. | |
| Phono grounding when using integrated w/ floating ground? It should be fine, and NEVER disable a ground pin from an AC plug. :) |
