| Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass? The guy who runs ASR is like Julian Hirsch. He has no ear whatsoever, and biases his reviews after he has seen the measurements. | |
| Room correction in noisy environment (ARC, Dirac, Minidsp, REW) I think room acoustics and correction are always possible improvements, especially if you can keep the DSP out of the main speaker loop. You can really make smaller speakers sound a lot bigger and fuller this way, and I don't mean by adding bass, ... | |
| Luxman 590axii vs Pass Labs int 60 Liquidity, and ease of performing at both the deepest and highest notes are what got me with my Luxman. | |
| Luxman 590axii vs Pass Labs int 60 @Builder - I’m afraid I’ve never listened to more than the 509 and 507. Good thing too, because the heat in my room and my pocket book could not afford it. :) @audiofound - That’s the best way I know how to describe it. Like the high frequencies h... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? Last I checked this is about listening to music not about technical specifications. When you keep using specs which are unproven to related to listening experience one way or another, you might as well be using dowsing rods. | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? What analog system lets me listen to internet radio?? :) | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k I really like Music Lovers, very unassuming.My experience with Audio Visions SF was limited. | |
| The Totalitarianism of the Rational Audiphile I drive a VW Passat does that make me a budget Audi-phile? :-PThis deserves kharmic retribution. | |
| The Totalitarianism of the Rational Audiphile What I mean is, the precision of the experience will not trump what I hear. And yet, it is a pet peeve of mine to read about good gear using poorly quality or poorly tracking volume or tone controls. At the prices we normally see, these really sh... | |
| The Totalitarianism of the Rational Audiphile I know for sure we are judgemental!! E | |
| Network Switches oh, and try to route your ethernet cables away from all audio cables, especially power supply and interconnect cables. | |
| Network Switches I think that the quality of digital transmission is hard to improve upon. DAC receivers have also in the last few years become excellent at jitter and ground loop isolation. However, the noise emitted by the switch mode power adapters, as well as ... | |
| Class D vs Class AB - Looking for best used budget amplifier for Magnepan MG12 Used Parasound A21?? | |
| How do you rationalize audio upgrades? Sorry, last one. The demanding mistress.You buy a decent bit of kit, but it requires obedience in the form of many additional expensive peripheral components to sound decent. Like a speaker which sounds OK with most amps, but finally sounds GOOD ... | |
| How do you rationalize audio upgrades? Then there’s a formula that audiophiles fail to consider:Very little benefit is not equal to any amount of moneyThat is, OK, let’s agree something is better. Is it $5 better? or $500 better?I may hear better many times, but the price and benefit t... |
