Class D is just Dandy!
HI @jrunr Yeah, Theta is owned by ATI, btw!! The Prometheus AFAIK uses custom linear supplies also, which explains the huge size. :) Best,E

Thanks @wtf I appreciate it, I had not noticed who that thread starter was, but I could tell the attitude was that of a brawler. Re: ICEedge There are probably already products out there with this technology we just don't know about them yet. From...

ICEPower went through several incarnations. I can attest that the AS (or ASP if powered) is superb. ICEedge is the chipset without the amplifier. :) Just the brains. So I think that we’ll start to see a lot more product differentiation among vendo...

madavid I use bare ICEPower 250 ASP modules. They beat a lot of premier class A amps. Also, you bring a lot of attitude. Not everyone on this list has mentioned uber pricey class D amps. Some were quite affordable. If you are looking for a place t...

madavidI strongly wncourage you to read this threa. At least skim it. It is filled with glowing recommendations for Class D. You can disagree, but there are other threads for trashing class d and I would appreciate it if any detractors took their ...

Clarity Cap CMR Impressions
I'm about a week into burning in one side of my CMR caps. One interesting point, while music from my Mytec DAC sounds brighter and fuller, the Oppo Bluray player (103) is now sounding more and more harsh.It will be middle of next week before I get... 
Clarity Cap CMR Impressions
ESR: At 4.7uF: ~ 0.38 Ohms between 1 to 10kHz for both MR and CMR. Maybe 0.01 Ohms lower for MR.audio4pass - Your typing sometimes comes off as very rude and demanding. I don't get paid by you, so I would appreciate it if you spoke to me a little ...

@autre Thanks, and thanks for being among the first to spell my name correctly. Best,E 
Hi-res digital audio vs sacd
I'd save your money.There are a number of great DAC's out in the last 5 years. Shiit and Mytek are among them. Best,E 
Clarity Cap CMR Impressions
Oh, you are right. :) It must be huge and expensive. If you are looking in that price/size/performance bracket I would love for you to try Jupiter and tell us your own impressions. :) I wish I could afford an all Jupiter Cu film crossover, but I c... 
Clarity Cap CMR Impressions
Hi Sherod!FYI, these two caps are not really equivalent. The Audyn is VERY physically large and very expensive for the uF. Also the largest Audyn TC cap is around 2.2uF. For these three reasons it’s much more useful as a bypass cap. In my case I’m... 
Wilson New Speaker Master Chronosonic
I don’t wish to argue the WMC are beautiful or worth the money, nor can I attest to their sound qualities. In the past I have found Wilson’s juiced and not completely natural but I have to agree with this statement from Dave Wilson in principle, e...

It's also important to say, differences are not better or worse necessarily. Maybe two amps sound different. Is one better or worse, is it worth caring about? Are you trying to make your ears more sensitive or enjoy music and movies more? :) We ge...
