| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? The human ear is capable of decoding intermixed harmonics and timing cues into the 200khz plus ---with zero jitter. Micro and macro signals intermixed. With two ears doing this as a combined spaced pair, with the micro and macro intermixed tem... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? George,Weren't you the person who advised me to let those who like a technology go and enjoy it? Because every time an A'gonner says they are buying or like Class D you are right there telling them how wrong they are, bringing up 40 year old compl... | |
| Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier Gaaaah, my eyes hurt just looking at it.... I know that's not supposed to be that important, but dear heavens no no no. Not in my house. | |

| The Border Patrol DAC - Maybe linearity in a DAC is bad ... Spitballing Nonoise:Yes, and this part in particular catches my eyes: I use Chesky recording sessions to review headphones because I can compare what I hear live to the sound coming off the so-called “mike feed.” The Border Patrol DAC reproduced the church ... | |
| Modifying Philharmonic 3 crossovers Yes, parallel caps add. | |
| Imaging question It's usually a limitation of the recording. Once things are compressed in terms of the stereo image, you can't fix it later. | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Damn George, for some one who doesn't like Class D you sure talk about it all the time. Maybe take your own advice? | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Okay, I just wanted to add a comment to my previous post to agree with other posters (that only appeared to me and I read after I posted) that potential lightning strikes are an extremely legitimate reason to unplug your amps and components.N... | |
| Multichannel Class D amplifier for multi-room sound Parasound has a number of products designed for this, under the "zonemaster" line. | |
| The Border Patrol DAC - Maybe linearity in a DAC is bad ... Spitballing If the Border Patrol is manipulating the output signal to mimic a compressor, than it is not surprising that many listeners would like the effect. An analogy would be upping the contrast slightly in a video signal. I don't think they are mani... | |
| Advice needed: am I going in the right direction? The amp does not appear to have a digital input. What I would suggest is you start with the PC's speaker/headphone outs to your amp first. At least play some music! After this .... I prefer USB output, but it can be complicated. If you have a rear... | |
| Imaging question Not all great music has great sound stage. I have one CD that is pretty much live but due to the recording equipment they had, 3 or 4 mics were recorded onto the same track. So either I enjoy it for the music and atmosphere or I obsess over imag... | |
| The Border Patrol DAC - Maybe linearity in a DAC is bad ... Spitballing But I do not think we can measure what Herb R. says is 'human sounding musical pleasures'. In this case, I actually genuinely think we can. My hypothesis is that he is enjoying the compression at the bottom of the dynamic range. I'm going to see ... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I had a Parasound Zone Master Class D amp on loan to give an evaluation of. It uses the ICE Power modules and in that particular case, it did sound better after a long warm up period or as Parasound told me at least a 200 hour break in period... |
