| Class D is just Dandy! George,It is an open forum. That gives me the right to every single word in my last post.Cheers,Erik | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @ebm I really appreciate your careful reading of the purpose of this thread, not to mention your thoughtful and nuanced contribution to the hobby in general. I can only hope that the you can contribute as much for others in your life. Best,E | |
| Clarity Cap CMR Impressions Hi Audio,I think the bass i that sense is really nice. You get a lot of the "surface" sounds of drums, of hands or sticks hitting the skins, and more of the body of acoustic instruments as well like violin's, guitars, etc. I think the liveliness, ... | |

| Class D is just Dandy! Thanks Randy! | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @randy-11I am a huge Mytek fan, Randy, how did you learn about the amp? I haven’t heard a peep about it.Best,E | |
| MQA according to new Stereophile "loudness button" and "tweaking EQ in presence region" My unpopular opinion: Most older DAC’s sounded significantly better with high resolution files. There are a lot of DAC’s introduced in the last 5 years which sound great regardless of sourse, from Redbook to DSD. My need for high resolution files ... | |
| Clarity Cap CMR Impressions Hi Audio,The only problem I have with the CMR is that lesser sources which have any sort of stridency to them now show more clearly depending on programming. With the Mytek Brooklyn, this is NEVER a problem. With the Oppo 103 sometimes. Depends on... | |
| Richard Clark $10,000 Amplifier Challenge - Why Couldn't Anyone Pass this Test?? I was going to write some quibbles, but instead I will just point you to this article from Roger Sanders. While the amp he talks about has long been superseded, the problems about ESL's and phase angles and currents remains true.http://www.enjoyth... | |
| Speaker phase observation and question? @twoch is right. Especially minimalist tube preamps. A single stage, single ended gain stage always inverts. | |
| Measurements - Clearly Explained Hi Wolf!Those are always great finds. But as an engineer, anything that sounds good, I'd like to know why so I could replicate it, whether or not it goes with established dogma. Like, maybe it adds plenty of 2nd order distortion, or has noise in t... | |
| Clarity Cap CMR Impressions And thanks everyone for playing with me regarding these caps. I'm going to leave this project alone for a long time. Perhaps if I get a sponsor to try some much more expensive copper foil caps I'll come back. Best,E | |
| Clarity Cap CMR Impressions Hi audio4pass,I measured and simulated the effects of the bypass caps. There's no perceptible change in phase or amplitude. I can't explain the added ...not necessarily warmth, but liquidity, in the midrange by adding the 0.1uF cap. I agree, the M... | |
| Clarity Cap CMR Impressions Hi everyone,So I’m pretty much done listening to the CMR’s, and ready to give a verdict in my system. Oddly, I find the case colors of the MR and CMR line exactly opposite of how they sound. the Red CMR sounds cool, while the blue MR sounds warm.T... | |
| Measurements - Clearly Explained Hi Ahendler, I'm not sure how much voicing you think happens without tools, but yes, the point to the links and simulations is to help the layperson see exactly what the amplifier/speaker interaction is like in terms of impedance and output. Best,E |
