| Does anyone have a good recommendation for the best quality home theater platform? Hey @mzkmcxv I don't know about their amps, but I've had their processors and, sadly, they were easily spanked by 7 year old Theta processors.They sound exactly like what you'd expect a Japanese EE with no musical background to produce. Very quie... | |
| Does anyone have a good recommendation for the best quality home theater platform? AVSForum.com has many suggestions. My personal list : Top tier: The one made by DTS, Datasat? ThetaClasseAnthem Followed by: YamahaMarantzAnd really disappointing : Onkyo Emotiva | |
| Curious about running a tube pre into a SS integrated A lot of this benefit comes from driving hard to drive speakers, like ESLs.If you have reasonably flat and high impedance speakers, tube amps are less disadvantaged. | |
| Unforgiving DAC or add Tube Preamp?? First, make sure you have played music for at least 72 hours through it. It may not help, but at least give it the benefit of the doubt. If you still don't like it, I highly recommend the Mytek Brooklyn which is never harsh, but doesn't fully open... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? -10 George and Calendar for being less than truthful, mischaracterizing other Audiogon members, including myself and projecting. I've never attacked you personally, show me a place where I have, George? Nor have I thought your war of web links was... | |
| Bowers and Wilkins Htm72 For the money, stick with what you have, but if you are wanting to spend a little cash, consider room acoustics as a better investment. Talk to GIK Acoustics, and spend the same you were going to otherwise. Best,E | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I've marked your posts @celander for being disparaging as well as inappropriate characterization of what I have done. | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Erik, yes, I’m George. I will always be George, I believe this is true. | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Celander,Are you George? You should mark George's entire presence in Audiogon regarding Class D for review. We've been absolutely patient, open minded and requesting of more information. He's routinely obliquely insulted, and disparaged a number o... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I’m fed up with the relentless attacks against George being posted on this thread. If members don’t stop the nonsense, then I hope the moderators shut down this thread. The attacks aren't personal. They are based on his behavior. He really has ... | |
| Do you ever do this before you listen? @barnettk You already know as much as I do about Netti pots. I just keep track of obscure ways in which people die too. Best,E | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? George has stated he has heard a variety of class D designs in a variety of threads. Funny thing that George can cut and paste the same web links over and over again, but has trouble doing the same for his personal opinions. I daresay George has ... | |
| Do you ever do this before you listen? @barnettk I can confirm that sinus rinsing work. At the very least the irrigation with salts really is very soothing, and sometimes can help end allergies a little faster. I cheat and use the squeeze bottle variety:https://amzn.to/2THzjjYPlease be... | |
| What are "true" balanced connectors Galvanic isolation isn’t a requirement for a balanced circuit.True. The transformer output, unless it is center tapped, is only differential, which is where the value is anyways as far as common mode noise rejection is concerned. Yes, but it prov... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn overkill? I like the Brooklyn, but I also like the NAD 3020D, which is a DAC, amp and Bluetooth receiver. |
