| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Maybe it’s time for a group hug with Eric?Too busy listening to my marvelous Class D amps to bother with other humans. | |
| Down to 2 preamps The AVM has a mix of balanced and rca outs. I think it also has a pair of balanced inputs. | |
| Voltmeter readings and settings when building RCA Interconnect But yes, generally, continuity testing should beep end to end, but not between conductors. | |
| Voltmeter readings and settings when building RCA Interconnect Well, yes, but ideally < 0.5 Ohms (this is hard to do because leads are often hard to hold. | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels Interesting take by Linn on DSP. These are fighting words against the approach taken my Lyngdorf and Antherm. It is interesting, but it is of course a biased point of view to sell a particular solution.The best answer is still to treat the room a... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? From what I have heard, skip the ICE Module amps.... They are the harsh ones on the upper frequencies. I am using ICE 250 ASP with speakers using AMT drivers that are measurably flat past 20kHz. Not a bit of harshness in them. They sound just like... | |
| Voltmeter readings and settings when building RCA Interconnect Infinite resistance between shield and hot.Zero between each end. | |
| The Border Patrol DAC - Maybe linearity in a DAC is bad ... Spitballing @kalali Don't you think these effects could be explained by compression? Best,E | |
| Main L R speaker connection from seperate amps Yes. Use a speaker switch in reverse. :) They're cheap, if you don't like the effect, you can always take them out. | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I state this based on my own experiences using multiple class D amps in my system for about 4 yrs, the complete lack of evidence that current signal carrier frequencies in the 400-600 KHz range affect frequencies in the audible range, ane... | |

| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I’m pushing Class-D with this newer technology, because the old technology that’s basically been the same since it started (save for some input detours) is flawed. Reason why all detractors ALWAYS find the mid/highs are not right. Right, you... | |
| Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier Anthem has ARC.How important is room correction software? Apples and Oranges. This is a pure amp. Anthem does not have a pure amp with ARC. Only ingegrateds. For music, ARC can really help the subs integrate well. But ideally, have good room acou... | |
| The Border Patrol DAC - Maybe linearity in a DAC is bad ... Spitballing I agree, that ears matter. I do want to kind of emphasize that when I posted this thread I was using "linearity" as a very specific measure. I don't mean to rehash all things about all measurements. But, what if specifically, with DACs we prefer s... | |
| The Border Patrol DAC - Maybe linearity in a DAC is bad ... Spitballing He is quite adamant that he heard musical information that was present on the master file and subsequently conveyed convincingly with the BP . Yep, and looking at the measurements, the lack of linearity is an interesting clue, one which supports a... |
